The Library completed several building improvements over the summer period

Expanded Library-based Research Skills Training Programme

Following the Library’s inclusion in the ‘Warwick Transformation’ programme, additional resource has been focussed on research support to develop and expand our offer for researchers. For 2024/25, the Library has reviewed, refreshed and expanded its skills training offer for researchers. This new offer draws on the knowledge and skills of staff across the Library’s new Research and Academic Services section - which brings together expanded Academic Support, Open Research and Research Data teams into one section,- facilitating an improved offer for research active staff and students across the University and ensuring it meets the evolving needs of our academic and research community.

Launching in the 2024/25 academic session, we are offering sessions aimed at postgraduate research students and early career researchers on new topics such as open research, literature searching and research metrics as well as returning favourites such as reference management, publishing strategically and data management planning.

Details of the new sessions can be found on the Library Researcher Training webpage (https://warwick.ac.uk/services/library/research-support/researcher-training/), and sessions can be booked via Skills Forge (https://skillsforge.warwick.ac.uk/warwick/#common/main/welcome)

The outdoor seating area by the library café has been undergoing an exciting refurbishment over the summer. This is following consultation with our students and a collaboration with a creative placemaking agency. The space is almost complete but will remain closed to diners until early October. We look forward to welcoming you to 'The Forum' soon.
