Wellbeing

Wellbeing Services provide a range of support to help you develop the personal resources and skills you need to navigate the challenges and opportunities of student life. The University of Warwick is committed to providing a supportive and positive environment for all members of its community. However, we recognise that there will be times in everybody's University life when things do not go as well as you would wish. In times like these, there is a comprehensive support and welfare structure available to help with all kinds of different problems.

The Library

You’ll find more than books at the Library. You’ll find resources such as online journal articles and ebooks available wherever you are and services to help you develop your information skills or your use of multimedia. The library also has a variety of study environments to suit your study needs.

To access Warwick Library e-resources, you can either follow the links from the Library website, Encore (http://encore.lib.warwick.ac.uk), or Library Catalogue (http://webcat.warwick.ac.uk/). These links will usually take you straight to the Warwick Web Sign-on or the Library Login screens where you will need to enter your Warwick username and password. You should then be taken straight to the e-resource you selected with access to Warwick subscribed content. Access will usually be the same whether you are on or off-campus.

A comprehensive list of Library resources for History students is available at http://www2.warwick.ac.uk/fac/arts/history/students/library_resource.
