Growing numbers of university libraries across the UK have been reflecting on how they can develop their spaces and services in ways that embrace and promote equity, diversity and inclusion. In this context, many have been looking more closely at the materials in their library collections, leading to the realisation that these materials may not be as diverse as they could, and should, be. To this end Library and Learning Services has initiated a project to start exploring these issues and how we might enhance the diversity of our library collections. And we’d love for you to help us!
The Library and Learning Services Student Engagement team (aka UniSkills) have recently recruited some new Student Advisors to join the already established team. As current students, they bring a wealth of experience from studying at Edge Hill as well as a great variety of subject knowledge from their individual disciplines.
Read on to learn more about who your Student Advisors are, what they are studying and their top Study Happy tips!
Hello, and welcome to your October UniSkills Focus On… blog. This month we are shining the spotlight on a different type of resource we hope you’ll find useful – UniSkills toolkits!
What are UniSkills toolkits?
UniSkills toolkits are a suite of online, interactive learning resources which focus on a specific academic skill or topic.
All UniSkills toolkits have been created by our team of knowledgeable Academic Skills Advisors and have undergone a thorough review process (a bit like peer reviewing a journal article!). Academics from across the University, professional support staff and current Edge Hill students have all participated in evaluating each of the toolkits to ensure the content, structure and design are accurate, accessible and engaging!
