What if I have difficulty with managing my Library loans?

Can I meet my mentor in private in the Information Commons/ Library?

The Additional Support Service is continually addressing the requirements of disabled and dyslexic students. Unfortunately, however, due to shortage of office space, neither the Information Commons nor any library site is currently able to offer rooms for your individual mentoring sessions.

How can I contact the Additional Support Service?

If you would like further information on any aspect of the service, please contact the Library's Additional Support Service by:
