Armed with their expertise and a laptop, Librarians Will Hamilton and Michelle Mahoney are now providing a regular information service to staff and students in the new Business School.

Since June, Will and Michelle have been available to assist staff and students in a convenient and casual setting next to the Tony Howarth Case Study Room. The initiative has been warmly received and the Librarians have been kept busy with a range of queries about conducting research, Library services and accessing our collections. It has proved particularly successful with students who combine full time work with study as they can meet with a Librarian before attending evening classes.

And it seems that the change is not just a success with the staff and students; both Will and Michelle are enjoying the more casual setting for contact with their clients.

"Being in their environment, not behind a desk, means they are seeing us as 'their librarians' and as a part of their School," Michelle said. "And thanks to the staff and students who offer us coffee!”

The Librarians are in the Business School on Tuesdays 10.00-1.00pm and Thursdays 3.00-6.00pm if you want to drop by.

If you wish to make an appointment then please contact them via email or phone:
