Workshops for Staff and Researchers
Students having a discussion during a Library workshop
Our team of expert librarians regularly deliver classes and workshops to the academic and research community on a variety of topics.
Contact your Subject Librarian if you wish to organise a tailored workshop for your research group, school or unit.
In addition to these customised sessions, we also deliver larger workshops in the following ways.
Graduate Training Programme
An annual programme of workshops and classes aimed at first year Research Postgraduates. More information is on our Graduate Training Programme page.

We also deliver a range of sessions in early Summer. These include sessions delivered by both our librarians, as well as outside presenters on using their databases.
Previous summer sessions have included:
