How we can help

Your Academic Librarians can help you to find resources, with literature searching, and with referencing and RefWorks. 

We provide support by email, in drop-in sessions and in appointments. We will discuss your topic with you, help you create a strategic search and apply it to the relevant databases.

For general questions about the library, use the library chat on the library homepage or email library@gcu.ac.uk.
