We do...
- Give individualised information, support and advice on a range of academic skills that underpin any programme of study
- Help you to develop the skills you will need to learn independently and improve your work
- Ensure that Library staff are well qualified and knowledgeable and will treat you courteously and professionally

- Provide you with materials to support your skill development

- Maintain links with the Academic Faculties, to ensure that our information is accurate and up-to-date
- Listen to your feedback and use it to review and develop our service
- Monitor our service use and effectiveness using anonymised management data
We don't...
- Act as a proof-reading service
- Provide support with the subject of your assignment
- Assess the quality of the content of your work or predict your grade
- Run structured, specialist programmes for dyslexia or English as an additional or second language
- Allow you to have more than one appointment per month*

Please note: we cannot support you effectively unless you attend sessions on time, prepared to work, with all the appropriate materials (including assignment guidance) and with sufficient time to make amendments before the assignment submission date. We look forward to working with you!
