The John Rylands University Library acquires over 38,000 new items each year, and has the most extensive range of electronic resources of any UK Higher Education library.

This is great news for students and staff, but it does mean that you need to develop your research skills to search through the wealth of information and find the sources you need for your assignments.

These pages are designed signpost useful tools and online tutorials to help you build on the research skills you already have, whatever your previous experience.
