Durham University Library and Collections - Pre-arrival information: Help and support

Help and Support

We have a fantastic team of knowledgeable, dedicated and friendly staff. They are passionate about our museums, libraries and collections and are keen to help you achieve in your studies. Our team includes librarians, curators and archivists – all specialists in their relevant areas.  

We are always happy to help you develop new skills through our online subject and research guides, workshops and online tutorials enabling you to make the best possible use of everything we have to offer.  

We will help you learn how to find recent articles for your subject, how to reference a piece of music or handle a rare object. Support is integrated into your studies, and we will help you from first year undergraduate through to completing a PhD. Our dedicated team of Faculty Librarians can also offer one-to-one support to help you discover our collections.
