The Big Talk is live! You can complete the survey right now at go.sunderland.ac.uk/share  

Each year, the Library and our colleagues across Student Journey ask you to talk to us about your needs in our Big Talk campaign. From now until April, you will see us dotted around campus with iPads asking you to take 5 minutes to tell us what you think about how we can develop . I'm particularly keen that pharmaceutical sciences, pharmacy and bioscience students help feed into the Library@Murray refurbishment plans. I know you're in the Library a LOT and you will have great ideas on how to improve and develop this space.

This year we're also asking about Artificial Intelligence, as we have our eye on a few developments, but want to make sure we're implementing the right things and providing clear and useful guidance on how and when to use them. There are also chances to tell us about your academic and digital skills and to feed back to YourSU.

Your feedback really does make a big difference to University planning and decision-making. We've already used Big Talk feedback to:

  • Secure investment in Library@Murray to create additional library study spaces at City Campus
  • Improve the wifi and heating in our Library spaces
  • Launch the library room booking system which is just for students
  • Develop our Library Study Skills offer

Thanks a lot and I look forward to seeing what you have to say.

Welcome to all of our new students and welcome back to all returners. I'm looking forward to meeting you and welcoming you (back) to the Library. 

New students: 

  • You will likely see me, Leah, or another Library colleague in one of your modules for a Library welcome. We'll tell you about how to get started using the Library
  • You might also see me, Leah, or a study skills advisor who will get you started with researching for your first assignment if you're enrolled on BPS113, CSC102, PHA114 or HCS11.
  • If you would like to get started on your own, have a look at our Library Essentials Library Guide

Returning students: 

  • Welcome back! 
  • One change you'll notice is that your reading lists have a new interface and we're pretty excited about how they appear and work you. Enjoy!
  • You will likely see me, Leah, in one of your modules, particularly if you're getting ready for your dissertation or a final project. See you soon, if you're enrolled on BPS310. I'll be seeing you in Mpharm & Biosciences level two in the second semester.
  • If you don't have a session scheduled, but feel you could benefit from Library or Study Skills support, you can make a 121 appointment with your librarian or a study skills advisor by filling in this form.
