If you have any questions in the meantime, just ask the staff in the library or email your librarians at buslib@swansea.ac.uk. We’ve also set up an online space for you to ask questions – just go to https://www.sli.do/home and enter the event code #8891. This is open until the 7^th October. We’ll look at this during the induction sessions and make sure you have all the information you need!

One of the best places to go for the material you need is our Library Guides. Bookmark the page now as this is where you’ll find guides on using the best resources for your assignments, help with referencing and contact details for your librarians.

Welcome to Swansea University! We look forward to meeting you soon.

Welcome new students! (And returners too)

It’s lovely to see our new library bustling with students today! Hope you haven’t had to queue too long to see our lovely staff at the Library Desk if you’ve had any questions to ask. They’ve been very popular!

It was great to meet so many of you at your library induction sessions last week. Remember, you can find lots of information online from your Subject Support pages on the library website and on Blackboard. (The library induction material is on Blackboard, if you’d like a refresher, or if you’ve lost your Need to Know Checklist!) If you missed your induction last week, don’t worry, we’re holding a couple of extra sessions this week:-

2-3pm Thursday 1st October, PC Room 1 in Bay Library

1-2pm Friday 2nd October, PC Room 1 in Bay Library

Please come along to one of these sessions if you couldn’t come last week. If you have any questions, please get in touch: buslib@swansea.ac.uk.
