Library Research Support

The Library Research Support team provides high quality information and advisory services. We support research students, researchers and research active academic staff and other university colleagues and aim to build the University’s strengths in research, innovation and knowledge transfer.

Covid-19 and Our Service 

The health and safety of our students and staff is our top priority. In line with the national public health guidance regarding COVID-19, and to protect you and help stop the spread of coronavirus, Adsetts and Collegiate libraries are closed from 5pm Monday 23rd March until further notice.

Please check our dedicated online guide for more information and to find out how to make the most of your library off-campus.

During this period of off-campus working the Library Research Support team will continue to support researchers as much as we can.

You can find further advice and information on this website or:

Email: library-research-support@shu.ac.uk

Call: 0114 225 3852.

If you need detailed help one of our team will arrange a dedicated one to one telephone meeting with you.

Our online resources will remain available through the SHU Library Gateway.

If you cannot get online from home, access specialist software or have general questions about the University’s approach to COVID – 19 please contact Hallam Help.
