Hello!
I am one of the Skills Librarians in the Skills Team at the University of Derby.

I can support students in 1-2-1 appointments with database searching, referencing, academic reading and writing, critical thinking and more.

You might meet me through in-class sessions that your academic books, or through our workshops (which are delivered online, at our Chesterfield site, at our Kedleston Road site, Britannia Mill, Markeaton Street, and the Cavendish Building.)

What do I do?
I can help you to make full use of the Library's resources, including:

  • Finding information for an assignment
  • Researching your final year project / thesis
  • Using our databases
  • Citing and referencing
  • Using the reference management tool EndNote
  • Post-graduate research (PGR and PGT)
  • Literature reviews and Systematic Reviews (the literature searching element only)

It is strongly recommended you use the workshops to use the workshops we offer through the Develop@Derby service as a lot of your questions can be answered there and there are a lot of pre-prepared resources available which you can access through your library subject guide.

If you have any other queries please get in touch with the Library by using the Live Chat feature, emailing library@derby.ac.uk or telephoning (01332) 59 1215
