We welcome enquiries and feedback from staff and students, prospective students and other interested parties. Your feedback is an invaluable source of information in planning the development of our collections and services. You can send your feedback directly to our University Librarian using our Have Your Say service or you can use our Contacts page to find a specific staff member you wish to email. All feedback will be responded to provided it includes a return email address.
