Learning Services Induction
This section is intended to help you get started finding and using the information you need to study successfully at Edge Hill University.
Searching for information in an academic environment can be a daunting experience, especially at first – but don't worry, Learning Services can provide you with all the help you need to make the most of the information resources available to you.
All Edge Hill Students and staff can use our libraries and borrow learning resources. You must have your Unicard with you. We have lots of information which will help you use our libraries and get the best out of our service.
For everything you need to know about borrowing and using the service, please see the help and information in Using the library.
Below you will find short presentations to help you start making the most of your learning experience at Edge Hill.
