Top five ways to make the most of the LJMU Libraries

As a student at LJMU, you have amazing access to three different Library spaces across campus in the Avril Robarts, Aldham Robarts and Student Life Building.

Here Richard Davis – the Library’s Head of Digital, Collections and Researcher Engagement - lists his Top five ways to make the most out of the LJMU Libraries.

Students now have access to study spaces 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, in the Student Life Building, and until late in the evening at our other Library sites.

But although we have a vast collection of thousands of printed books, there’s much more to our Library services than that!

• Skills@LJMU: The Library runs a series of classes, workshops and drop-ins, from how to use Harvard Referencing in academic essays, to Maths and Statistics Online.
   View the Skills@LJMU training calendar here to find out more.

• Online journals and ebooks: Not only does LJMU have thousands of print books you can borrow for your studies, we also provide access to a vast range of high quality digital resources, including full text e-books and journal articles. You can also read a wide range of newspapers and magazines using the PressReader app.

• Study spaces with access to computers 24/7 opening hours: All of the Library areas in Aldham Robarts, Avril Robarts and the Student Life Building have study spaces with computer access and free wifi.  The Student Life Building is open 24/7, meaning you can study at whatever time suits you.
