Upcoming Training


 We're still offering training via webinars aimed at staff and PGRs. Here's the training sessions we have available for the rest of May and start of June:
If there are training sessions you would like us to provide over the summer then let us know via librarians@le.ac.uk  

Library Research Support


Accessing Resources
The David Wilson Library is still closed until further notice.

Our e-resources continue as normal. For an overview of the online collections and resources we have, please see the My Subject pages and Journals A to Z.

For now, please continue to place document supply requests, book orders or digitisation requests. We will try to provide digital copies wherever we can. See request items for my research for how to do this

Enquiries & consultations

If you have a question, or would like to arrange a consultation, please email in the first instance using: librarians@le.ac.uk

All individual consultations will now be run as webinars/video calls.

A reminder that we offer advice, support, tools and platforms in the following areas:
  • Finding information, literature searching and systematic reviews 
  • Using EndNote and RefWorks; referencing and bibliographies
  • Managing your research data and data management planning advice
  • Making your publications and thesis open access
  • Publishing collections and open journals
  • Guidance on metrics and citation data
  • Allocation of funds from the UKRI and COAF Open Access Block grants.
For further information, see our web pages. 
Theses Submission
Requirements for final submission of your thesis to the Library remain the same: a bound thesis, an ethesis and the final submission form. However, please do not send or deliver your bound thesis to the Library during this period, as we are not there to receive it.

Bound thesis

We recommend using the University Print Services to print, bind and delivery your thesis. They will store the bound copy until delivery to the Library can re-commence; they will also notify us that the thesis has been printed. This can all be arranged online.

Ethesis and Final Submission Form

Please email your electronic thesis (pdf) and final submission form to ethesis@le.ac.uk.

Doctoral College Notification
We will continue to notify the Doctoral College Office of completed submissions to the Library for awards to be made.

If you have any questions regarding final thesis submission to the Library, please contact us directly at ethesis@le.ac.uk. Any questions regarding the Viva, confirmation of amendments and embargo applications should be sent to pgresearch@le.ac.uk.

Ways to contact us

If you have a question, need some help, or wish to provide feedback on our services, we are always happy to hear from you.
