Workshops, training and one-to-ones

Training

The Library's Research Skills Team offers a range of training opportunities for researchers. 

Other opportunities

Tea with a research librarian

Each Tuesday, at 15:00-16:00 (from 1 October), one of our Research Skills Advisors makes themselves a cup of tea and waits patiently for your questions. Join them via Zoom to keep them company, and ask anything research skills or library-related.

Postgraduate Researchers can access the link from their Canvas course.  Staff can email us for the Zoom link.

Coffee mornings in the Researcher Suite

On the first and second Thursday of October and November, 11.00-12.00, the Research Skills Team host a relaxed coffee morning in the first floor Researcher Suite in the Main Library. Join us for a cuppa and a biscuit, and a chat about anything library-related.

Upcoming dates:

  • Thursday 7 November 2024
  • Thursday 14 November 2024

No need to book, just turn up.

Shut up and work

A day for you to work on your own writing, planning or literature discovery in a quiet but supportive environment. There will be time to set targets at the beginning of the day and there will be regular planned breaks to enable you to network with colleagues or take a walk.
