Contacts and liaison

The Librarian with subject responsibility for Deaf Studies is Jez Conolly who is based in the Arts and Social Sciences Library.   In the Centre for Deaf Studies the Library Representative is Dr Michiko Kaneko.

If you are new to the department, please feel free to contact Jez Conolly to arrange a session to discuss how the library can support you, your researches and your students.  You may want to discuss, for example, information literacy sessions for students; or perhaps want some instruction yourself in using a particular database.  Whatever your library needs - run them past us, and we'll see if we can help!

Subject resources

• Book purchase recommendations or suggestions for new journal or database subscriptions can be made to your Subject Librarian or Library Representative. Note that to fund any new subscription it may be necessary to cancel an existing one, so consider this when you make your request.
• The collections page details useful Deaf Studies collections in the libraries, and advice on using other university libraries and the British Library.
• The databases and Internet links pages detail useful online resources.

See our Library collections and eResources pages for details of our more general resources & collections, including electronic journals, electronic books and databases.

Inter-library loan vouchers

• If you need an item which is not available anywhere in the library system here in print or online, you can use the Inter-library loans Service to obtain it from another library. There is a charge for this service, though you should be able to obtain an Inter-library loan voucher to pay for this from Claire Moore-Kibbey in the Centre for Deaf Studies.
