Academic Liaison Librarians (ALLs) provide help and support for students and staff in accessing the Library and its resources. Each department has a dedicated subject librarian. They are responsible for ensuring the Library has the best resources available for the department or division and therefore are well placed to offer advice on which databases or journals would be best for you or your subject. They are also experts at teaching digital and information literacy skills such as literature searching, referencing, planning research and keeping up to date, as well as using online tools. Throughout the academic year Academic Liaison Librarians run training sessions for groups and individuals on these topics via our LibSmart programme.
If you need help with any of the above, you can contact your ALL by email or book a one to one appointment. Find your subject librarian by looking on our Academic Liaison Librarian team guide.
You can also visit the LibSmart Point in the afternoons, from 1pm - 5pm Monday to Friday, during term-time. You don't need to make an appointment, just go to the LSP desk located on the first floor of the Library and wait to speak to the on call librarian.
More information about the services and guidance the team provide is available on the 'Your Subject Support' webpage.
