As well as providing embedded sessions, we run workshops throughout the year on many different topics. Students can look at what we have coming up, and can book a place to learn more and develop their information and digital literacy skills.
Your students can find a full list of our workshops from our Events page.
Our Academic and Research Services team can work with you to embed sessions within your modules. These sessions are designed to help students develop their information and digital literacy skills.
Through the range of sessions that we offer, students become equipped with both an awareness of relevant information resources, and the skills to evaluate and use those resources effectively and responsibly. This enables them to succeed in their studies and beyond.
A menu of workshop sessions that we offer can be found below. Please contact your Academic Liaison Librarian to discuss your requirements, and to arrange teaching sessions or other support.
