Our Equality, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) Committee has published its first annual report.
The report covers the year 2023-24. It celebrates the work we've done to promote Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion.
Information Services (ISD) runs Library & IT services at the University. ISD set up its EDI Committee in 2023. It aims to create an inclusive environment for staff and students.
The report covers highlights from our first year, including our efforts to introduce:
- a calendar of Equality, Diversity and Inclusion events
- a cataloguing process for books or other resources when an author has changed their name
- adaptation of Library spaces for neurodiverse staff and students
- a student focus group on library accessibility
- Digital Accessibility Training and several new EDI-focussed training sessions for Library staff

Student Focus Group on Library Accessibility: join the movement!
Are you passionate about making our library more accessible for everyone? We're starting a student focus group on library accessibility, and we need your voice!
The student focus group will meet online and will discuss:
- barriers to library accessibility
- how the library's facilities and services could be made more accessible
We are looking for students with diverse accessibility needs to join our focus group. You can help us continue to champion EDI and create a Library where everyone feels valued. Students who participate in at least one meeting will receive a £20 Love2Shop voucher.
If you’re interested in getting involved, send an email to help@strath.ac.uk with the subject ‘EDI Committee’. You can also find out more about what the Library does to support students with additional needs.

Are you struggling with referencing for your assignments? Do you want to enhance your referencing skills? Have you heard about the EndNote reference management tool but don't know how to use it? Our popular Referencing Week sessions are here to help you master the art of referencing.
Many students find referencing challenging. Different referencing styles like Harvard, OSCOLA or APA each have their own set of rules. But don't worry. We know that referencing is a crucial academic skill, and we're here to help you get it right.
This month, we're dedicating an entire week to help you understand referencing better. Referencing Week runs once each semester, in October and February. During Referencing Week we offer referencing classes online and in-person. Classes covering a wide range of topics related to referencing.
Elaine, our Science Faculty Librarian, will be leading some of the sessions. Elaine says, "Referencing is something many people struggle with. These short, informal classes are a way for students to learn more about referencing and how to do it right. Sessions start with the basics of what referencing is and why we have to do it. Later sessions explore different referencing styles and management software.
"We’ll explain how you can find out how to reference different sources, such as books and TV programmes. We even have a session all about staying on the right side of copyright law."
Don't miss out on this opportunity to improve your referencing skills!
