You might never meet anyone who works in  the Resources and Library Systems team but without them the Library and Learning Services just couldn’t function. The staff in this team order books, organize reading lists, make sure that the Library website works and play a big part in supporting the University’s research outputs. Their work underpins REF 2021 and organizes all the academic research published by researchers at the University.
