  • Redesigned Subject Guides
    Access essential databases, resources, eBooks and useful links selected by your academic teams, all tailored to your specific area of study. 
  • Guidance on using BrowZine
    Discover our powerful journal browsing platform that brings together all the academic journals in the library collection, organised by subject. Browse by subject area, search for journal titles, save articles for offline reading, and even build your own personal library. 
  • Updated Accessibility Tools page
    Explore more videos, toolkits, and guidance on adapting library resources into different formats to make them more accessible and easier to read 
  • Upgrades to EBSCO databases
    Enhancements designed to improve your research experience. These include a cleaner, simplified interface, intuitive search tools to help you find resources easier, and tools to translate articles into other languages.
  • Enhanced Getting Started and Using the Library pages
    Clearer, more comprehensive guidance to help you make the most of the Library’s resources and services.
