At the start of the summer vacation on Monday 13 June we will be making a number of changes to our website and systems.

We’re turning red!

The most obvious change will be in colour, our website and some of our systems will be going red to match the rest of the University.

New, improved online guides

You will also notice a significant change in the colour and style of our guides hosted on the LibGuides service, as we move to a new version of the software.

At the same time all our subject guides have been revised to make them more attractive, easy to use, and focused on the information you need. Our popular citing references guide has been given a new layout to make it easier for you to find the guidance you require, whether it’s how to cite a specific type of publication, or general advice on avoiding plagiarism.

Over the course of the summer we’ll also be adding new guides, such as a general one on bibliographic management systems, and a suite of guides from our Study Advice Team.

The switch to the new software may mean that our guides will be unavailable for a few hours from late on the afternoon of Monday 13 June.

Study Advice and Maths Support integration

Later on this summer the Study Advice and Maths Support websites will become part of the Library website. This move will give them an up-to-date look, making it easier for you to find the skills guidance you need, and integrating them further with Library services.
