  • Ask a Librarian Service: Need help with sourcing information for your dissertation? Want to know how to use a particular database or e-journal? Contact our Ask a Librarian service. Queries can often be answered straight away but you are guaranteed an answer by the next working day. Our aim is to assist you in any way we can. 
  • Hard-copy Journal Articles: If the article you need is not available online but is in our hardcopy collection – we will make every effort to get it for you.
