Academic Librarian - Linsey Sutherland: Welcome

Academic Librarians Offer

Academic Librarians provide a link between UWS Library and academic schools, staff, and students.

We support and respond to the learning, teaching and research needs of the University and help its members dream, believe and achieve their academic goals through the provision of high quality, innovative and user-focused library services informed by policies that are clear, fair and transparent.

Academic Librarian for the School of Computing, Engineering & Physical Sciences at University of the West of Scotland.

 

Professional Profile

  • I provide in-depth, personalised research support for students, staff and faculty.
  • I teach information literacy and deliver library sessions designed to help students at all levels to make effective use of Library resources and services, including identifying appropriate and relevant material for use in academic assignments; evaluation of information sources and referencing, for example.
  • I create learning and teaching materials, such as LibGuides, to highlight relevant information, tools and skills for students. These are closely tailored to both the needs of the students and the instructor’s learning outcomes. 
  • I purchase library materials for UWS Library, and in particular for the School of Computing, Engineering & Physical Sciences.  Please contact me with your purchase requests and/or suggestions.
  • I develop library collections within my subject expertise.
  • I assist with validation, revalidation or professional accreditation of programmes.

Personal Profile

I have worked as an Academic Librarian (or similar role) in Higher Education for over thirty years and the thing that I enjoy most is helping Library users make the most out of using the Library during their time at University of the West of Scotland.

 

 

Availability

I am usually based at the Paisley Campus but, due to Covid 19, am currently working between home and on campus.  My usual hours of work are Monday to Friday from 9.00am to 5.00pm although these may vary slightly at the moment.

Please contact me if you wish to make an individual (one-to-one) appointment for guidance, help or support with using UWS Library resources and/or services.

I am also happy to arrange small group appointments, seminars or tutorials.

Please contact me to arrange formal classes.
