The Academic Enhancement Team (AET) is made up of Academic Librarians and Academic Enhancement Coordinators. The team have distinctive roles but work closely together to support the learning, teaching and research needs of staff and students.

Academic Librarians
Academic Librarians liaise with the Colleges and professional services departments across the University. We design and deliver academic skills initiatives in support of the University’s learning and teaching priorities. Your Academic Librarian is your main point of contact with the library, and we can offer you and your students' advice and support about making the most effective use of our services and resources.
Our academic Librarians:
Caroline Ball – c.ball@derby.ac.uk
Jill Boland – j.boland@derby.ac.uk
Steven Bembridge – s.bembridge@derby.ac.uk
Naomi Bowers-Joseph - n.bowers-joseph@derby.ac.uk
Alexander Wood - a.wood@derby.ac.uk
Academic Enhancement Coordinators
Academic Enhancement Coordinators support the Academic Librarians in the design and delivery of content which contributes to building academic skillsets across the University. We support taught students to build information literacy, enhancing their ability to research the academic literature, as well as to develop broader academic skills through a mixture of curriculum-based and co-curricular opportunities.
Alongside the ALs, we will often run the skills labs and boosters, learning lunches, and take 1-1 appointments.
