The Library is staffed by Subject Librarians, Library Assistants and Student Ambassadors; please ask them any questions you may have whilst in the library.
Student Ambassadors (identified by wearing a red top) can help with basic enquiries such as opening hours, using the self-service machines and directions.
Library Assistants can assist you with issues relating to your library account and help with finding items in the library.
Subject Librarians are available for detailed subject enquiries and research techniques. Subject Librarians can be found on Subject Support points (when operational) or you can ask at the Library Help Point for the on-call Librarian. Subject Librarians can also offer support online via Zoom or Hangouts.
Contact points
The Library Help Point is the desk immediately inside the main entrance of The Sheppard-Worlock Library. At Creative Campus, the Help Point is located at the rear of the Cornerstone Library and at the front of the Capstone Library.
The Subject Support points in The Sheppard-Worlock Library are based on the ground and first floors. The Creative Campus Subject Support points are both near the library entrances. Here you can find the Subject Librarian on Mondays and Fridays during term time; the Cornerstone Library in the mornings and the Capstone Library in the afternoons (in normal circumstances - please check on the current situation before making a journey to the Libraries).
