Library Induction

Explore all your Library and Learning Services support for a successful start to studying at Edge Hill University.

Catalyst Induction

Library and Learning Services are part of your Catalyst specialist support and you can learn all about how who and what Catalyst is, how Catalyst specialist support can help you thrive on your student journey and how to access everything you need in your brand-new Introduction to Catalyst Specialist Support Toolkit.

Additional welcome and induction support is also available at key times of the year as we help you #FindYourFeet and take your #NextSteps to academic success at University.

Libraries

The main University Library is situated at the heart of the Ormskirk campus, in Catalyst. We also have a smaller Library on our Manchester St James’ campus. Both are accessible to all Edge Hill University students but we advise you check the opening hours before travelling, for up to date information about each site.

Accessing your resources

Digital Library

Although you can find lots of great help, support and resources within your physical Library, you can also access your digital library online. We have created a package of online tutorials to guide you through how to access, and make the most of, your key learning resources. These guides are particularly useful for students when studying off campus.
