Your gateway to a wide range of online information resources
Library Services offers a programme of live online training sessions to all OU students and staff.
The online training sessions are 30 to 45 minutes long and provide an online alternative to face-to-face training while still allowing you live access to a librarian. To find out more about the tool we use and to access a room to test your audio, please see the Online rooms guidance (login required).
Recordings of the live training sessions are available underneath the 'Join Room' link on the session pages.
A list of recent and upcoming events is also available.
