How we can help

Your Academic Librarians can help with:

• Selecting search terms
• Selecting relevant databases
• Creating a search strategy
• Referencing
• Managing your search results with RefWorks

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

Areas we can't help with

We cannot help with the following:

• Academic writing (structure, vocabulary etc.)
• Proofreading essays or reference lists

For academic writing support please contact the Learning Development Centre. The University does not offer a proofreading service.

• Send us your question and we'll reply within 2 working days, usually quicker.

Drop-in for quick questions:

• Drop-ins take place in the Drop-In room on Level 1 of the Library - follow the banner marked 'Library drop-ins and workshops'.
• In Trimester C (19 May - 1 August) drop-ins take place between 12noon - 1pm from Monday to Friday.
• You don't need to book an appointment in advance - just come along any time. You will get 15 minutes with an Academic Librarian to discuss your questions.

Appointments for in-depth help:

• Appointments last 45 minutes and can be in person in the Library or online.
• They are available Monday to Friday.
• If you need an appointment outside office hours we will try to be flexible.
