Introducing LibGuides

LibGuides are designed to help you find the best resources the library has to offer and help you with your research.  They are guides to help you find key, academic resources while studying, showing you how to make use of them.

 The guides provide key information including:

There are two ways you can access LibGuides:

2. Access LibGuides directly here and browse by subject or author, check out the most popular guides, browse subject tags for relevant guides.

Feel free to contact the author of the guide for more help – staff are here for you!
