Subject Support Points

Feel free to speak to any librarian on the Subject Support Points for guidance on how to source and use the right information for your work. You may be referred to the Faculty Librarian responsible for your subject if your enquiry requires more detailed subject knowledge.

Each Faculty has two designated Librarians with specialist subject knowledge.

Your Faculty Librarian has an in-depth knowledge of the library collection for your subject and is there to help you:

  • provide information literacy skills and support
  • search effectively for resources to use in your learning and assessments

Your Faculty Librarian is based within the library on the Subject Support Points, which are open throughout the Library's staffed service hours.

Arts & Humanities Subject Support Point is located on the first floor

Individual Tutorials

These sessions normally last for one hour and they are most useful when you are preparing a specific assignment.
