Library Services for Staff

If you or your students would like advice about where to find library resources or how to use them have a look at the Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) which provide answers to the most commonly asked questions.

  • The selected resources for your study pages on the library website are a good place to start looking for information on a subject.
  • We provide a range of online training sessions. You can attend a live session or listen to a recording at a time to suit you. Topics covered include an introduction to Library Services and how to use the online resources.
  • Find out how to borrow, renew, return print and other items from the OU Library.
  • If you are involved in module production our Library Services for Module Teams intranet site should be your first port of call.

Library Helpdesk staff are available seven days a week to support you with any enquiry and can be contacted by phone, email or webchat.
