LibGuides: Library Research Support: Events

Our sessions

We aim to hold sessions three times a year. Each session is held twice to enable as many people as possible to attend; the second session is a repeat of the first.

We also hold drop-ins on Mondays from 10am-11am and on Fridays from 2pm-3pm. Just come along to the session Collaborate room.

If you need support and there are no sessions planned, and you can't make the drop-in, you can also contact us to arrange a 1-2-1 discussion with a member of the team.
