Have you had a great idea to improve the Library and Archives but not known what to do with it? LibInspo, our student-led innovation competition, is your chance to tell us. The winning idea will receive a prize of £1,000 and we’ll work with you to introduce it to the Library and Archives. You have from Monday 14 January until midnight Sunday 3 February to submit ideas.

We run a number of digital skills training sessions each term. Our digital skills training sessions are open to all members of the University.

To book onto a session, follow its link below (you'll need to log in to the booking system). If a session you're interested in is full, sign up onto the waiting list - if we have enough interest in a session we may repeat it. You'll also find copies of our slides throughout the Skills Guides.
