Librarians: Home

Librarians have subject specialist knowledge and can help you with:

• Identifying sources to help you find good quality information
• Searching effectively
• Referencing and reference management

As of Monday 23 March, all our support will be online only. You can contact and connect with us in the following ways:

• Book an appointment with your librarian. You will receive an email with a link to our live chat system. At the time of your tutorial, click on this link and follow the instructions on the page.   E-tutorial bookings are for 30 minutes.
• Email your librarian using the faculty contacts on this page.
• Referencing live chat: This replaces our face to face drop-ins and will be delivered via live chat on Monday, Wednesday and Friday, 2-3pm. Fill in the form during any of these times and a librarian will be available to answer your questions.
• Access Frequently Asked Questions and use our general Just Ask live chat function, during our opening hours at dmu-ac-uk.libanswers.com/.
• Use our online guides in the I need help with section of our website.

To access e-resources such as online books and journals, use Library Search or the databases and tools outlined in the subject guides  Many publishers have also opened up their content free of charge during the COVID-19 outbreak. Details are on our library blog.

These guides are prepared by your Librarian and inform you of the best resources available for your area of study. Find out more about Librarians here or select your Subject from the Faculty lists after clicking the image above.
