Your Academic Subject Librarian

Academic Subject Librarians are here to support you with using the Library resources. We do this via workshops, one-to-one appointments and email.

I can help you with navigating the Library's resources, finding and evaluating information (e.g. searching our databases to find articles for your assignments), referencing queries, and using reference management software.
