New learning resources
Through consultation with the academic community the Library has purchased a range of resources during 2021/22 enabled by the allocation of money from the University, UKRI and the College of Social Sciences Arts and Humanities for one-off purchases.
These alongside our other learning resources contribute to the strategic themes of the University strategy.
- World Changing Research
- Research-Inspired Education
- Our Citizens
This investment in our learning resources has enabled the Library to build on its owned collections, invest in new tools to enhance multidisciplinary research, support our curriculum, support open scholarship and our diverse community. Strength and depth have been added across arts and humanities and the social sciences which will also benefit multidisciplinary research in the life sciences and the sciences
