Library Subject Guides

Your Library Subject Guide is a collection of Library resources tailored by discipline plus help and support developed & maintained by your Information Specialist:


Your Information Specialist

Your Information Specialist is your library contact and 1:1 support for how to use the Library and its resources in support of your research.  As well as advising on finding information (e.g. library databases), Endnote Reference Management and Copyright, your Information Specialist can help you with identifying where to publish, maximising your online profile as a researcher with tools such as ORCID and using the university's tools (Elements and Pearl) to deposit Open Access versions of your publications.


Open Research Specialist

Tara Healy is the Library's Open Research Specialist who works alongside Information Specialists across all faculties and can provide specialist advice on areas such as meeting funders' open access policies; publisher copyright policies; citation impact of publications using tools such as SciVal; responsible use of metrics and research data management planning for open data.
