Training and events
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 and a list of recent and upcoming events are also available.
The Library Research Support Team also runs a range of training sessions for postgraduate researchers throughout the year
