Library Resources for EDI
The Library offers a rich collection of resources to support the University’s commitment to EDI. Our curated reading lists, subject guides, and research repository collections have been developed in collaboration with the Library’s EDI Working Group and University staff to provide staff and students a starting point for exploration. These sit alongside our broader resources which you can access through our Library catalogue, databases page and Libby our leisure reading and wellbeing app.
