Discovery Day

You are invited to drop in on our Discovery Day on Monday, 23 February, from 10:00 am to 2:00 pm at the Main Library. This event offers a valuable opportunity to engage with the exceptional resources available to support the development of dissertations and theses as part of our broader Dissertation and Thesis Festival.

At Discovery Day, you will have the chance to meet representatives from leading  database publishers (databases that allow you to fully research your topic), receive expert guidance, and pick up some freebies! Our Academic Support Librarians (ASLs) will be present to assist you in navigating library resources, inform you about upcoming festival events, and offer tailored advice to support your academic progress. Colleagues from Research Data Support and Digital Skills will be there to help you find out more about support for your dissertation and thesis work. And from 1-2pm, one of our Royal Literary Fund Fellows (RLFF)will be on hand so you can find out more about writing support available to you from the Library.

No advance booking is required—simply drop in and discover the resources and tools that can elevate the quality of your research.

Discovery Day forms part of the library's comprehensive Dissertation and Thesis Festival (23-27 February), 5 days of events dedicated to assisting students and researchers in producing well-informed, original dissertations and theses. Whether you are currently working on your dissertation or thesis, or planning for the upcoming academic year, make the most of the Festival’s resources and expertise to get the best results from your research.
