The Library and Academic Practice team specializes in supporting students to develop the practical skills needed to learn independently, thrive academically and perform well in course assessment, whatever the subject.

The team offers a variety of support options including:

• Discovery guides designed to help you in locating relevant study materials, enhancing search techniques, and discovering new resource management tools.
• Academic Practice pages focused on developing essential skills such as critical thinking, academic writing, referencing, and independent learning.
• Training sessions aimed at helping you to get the most out of the library's resources and services.
• Personalized 1-2-1 appointments with an Academic Librarian to deepen understanding of subject-specific resources, recommend key texts, assist with literature searches, or provide tips for using subject-specific databases.
