Introduction to the Library: Academic Staff

Other Library Teams

The Skills team support students across a wide range of academic skills development through their Skills Guides, their YouTube channel and through online workshops delivered throughout the academic year as part of the Develop@Derby workshops and events.

The Library front line services team make sure that our users get a fantastic service as soon as they walk through the door or contact the library for help, advice and support.  They manage the day to day operation of the library making sure that everything runs as smoothly as possible.  As well as staffing the Library reception desks they staff the Enquiry service and Live Chat systems, make sure that books get back to the shelves and are there when users need advice and direction.

You can find their contact details in the Help box to the left of this page, or use the Live Chat box at the bottom right of the screen.
