Teaching Support Framework

The University Library is your partner in the provision of quality learning and teaching.

We collaborate with teaching academics to support the development of information literacy skills, enable access to a wide range of collections, and provide advice in the discovery and use of relevant learning material. Our support for learning and teaching is underpinned by our Learning & Teaching Principles.
