Library

Alongside its vast selection of books, journals, and online resources, the Library is also home to the Research and Open Scholarship Team. They offer group training workshops, seminars and one-to-one sessions. Together with the Hive Scholars, they also look after the Sussex Research Hive, a dedicated space for researchers.

The Library website provides information about all our services, including details of opening hours, links to Library Search and our collection of online resources and information about booking study rooms.

  • a session to update you on what new resources are available
  • developing strategies for more systematic literature searching

You can find out more, or book a slot, through the Research Support website.
