Library Appointments

Book an Appointment - Students

Students can book a 1Hr appointment with the Library to discuss their research needs. The Library offers support in the form of advice or assistance regarding search strategy, finding resources, and basic citation guidance. The library does not offer editing or proofreading services. Students can book a maximum of 1 research appointment per week.

When booking, please include the reason for your appointment or details about the type of research support you require. This information helps library staff prepare for the appointment to make the best use of the time.
