Support from the Library

We have helpful staff who are happy to help you use the Library resources we provide whether you are in the building itself or if you are studying remotely, including academic librarians for each of the schools on campus. Please don’t hesitate to ask for help – there’s no such thing as a silly question. Helping users is the part of our jobs we enjoy most, so make sure you ask and don’t struggle on your own.
