I'm Leanne Young and I am your Academic Liaison Librarian (Hospitality, Events, Aviation and Tourism).
I'm looking forward to meeting you in your classes in a few weeks to share with you how to make best use of the library resources.
Until then I wanted to share a few useful tips and links for your first few weeks:
Pop into the Libraries
Pop in and have a look around. Explore the study spaces and browse the shelves for your subjects - the print resources for everything except esports are at St. Peter's Library (esports is at Library@ David Goldman.)
Book a tour or introductory session about the Library
Visit the Library Essentials Guide where you will find some information on getting started and you can sign up for a short tour of the library or perhaps learn about how to use some of the technology (such as printing and Wi-Fi).
Ask us if you have a question
You can always ask library staff if you have a question - we're always happy to see you in person but we also have a 24/7 chat service for when you need it. Find out more about contacting the Library.
