Welcome to Library and Learning Innovation

The vision of Library and Learning Innovation is to be at the heart of the success of the University.  We provide many of the academic resources needed by academic staff and students in their learning and research, and strive to provide them with the tools and skills they need to make the most of these resources.  We want to help develop a rich, varied and stimulating learning and research environment that is well aligned to the needs of the University, underpinned by high levels of customer service.

We provide access to extensive print and digital library collections. These include over one million printed items contained in our libraries on the Hull and Scarborough campuses, and access to over 30,000 electronic journals, books, data sets and other collections of electronic texts.  Our archival collections, based at the Hull History Centre, provide rich sources for research in areas such as local and regional history, modern politics, labour history, human rights, and modern literature.  We maintain and develop an institutional digital repository containing growing collections of the University’s own research output.

We provide a focus within the University for the development of e-learning and for the electronic learning environment as a whole, notably through the provision of our institutional online learning environment, eBridge.  Our commitment to enabling students and staff to develop the skills needed to make the most of the resources and tools available to them extends to a wide range of support, guidance and training in areas such as information literacy, study skills and IT skills.
