Throughout the year workshops and classes on the use of the catalogue, electronic databases and the Internet are also available. Printed brochures, guides, handouts Subject and reference librarians prepare a variety of printed handouts that are made available in the libraries, or can be posted to off-campus students on request. Many of these guides are available in PDF format and can be downloaded or printed from the web site. Every library has an information desk staffed by subject and reference librarians. These librarians are your contact in the library and they should be approached if you need help in finding information or instruction in the use of the library and its resources.
Subject librarians have expertise in a particular subject area.
Postgraduates may wish to make an appointment with the relevant librarian to discuss their research needs. The library's web site provides information about the library's collections, facilities and services. The web site can be used to check opening hours, look up the catalogue, search the library's electronic databases, or it can be used as a jumping off point to find other resources on the Internet. Items of interest such as new services and resources are regularly highlighted on the home page. Staff at this service will either answer your question or put you through to the most appropriate library department.
