Individual Library inductions

We’re always happy to run individual Library inductions throughout the year. You can request one at The Library Helpdesk, through University Disability Services, or by emailing library at warwick dot ac dot uk.

You’re also welcome to schedule a 30-minute online meeting via Microsoft Teams with The Library Accessibility Specialist to discuss your accessibility needs.

Additionally, you can speak to your Research and Academic Librarian, an individual who can guide you through department-specific resources, who you can locate the contact details for through subject support.
