In addition to your course, the Library offers online resources, courses and workshops to help you develop your information literacy.
Tutorials with your specialist librarian
With access to millions of resources, sometimes the library can seem like an intimidating place. Our specialist Librarians are here to help you make sense of it all by providing in-depth guidance and support in your chosen subject area.
Amy Bush is the Librarian supporting Law and Business (College of Business, Digital Transformation
and Entrepreneurship and Graduate School of Management).
Amy offers tutorials either face-to-face or online via MS Teams.
Legal Sources
You can find legal information, including cases, legislation and journal articles, on databases such as Lexis+ UK, Westlaw UK and HeinOnline. We have videos on how to search these databases, plus OSCOLA referencing guides and links to useful websites on our Legal Sources page.
