About Shelf Help
If you or someone close to you is going through a difficult time or coping with a condition or stressor, sometimes reading about these situations can help. The University Library together with Student Services and the University Occupational Health team have brought together a selection of books under common themes for you, as well as some links to external resources -these include videos, websites, and contact information for professional advice.
The Library resources can be viewed via the themes above, whilst the library and external resources are collected together in a searchable list here.
The books and resources are available to borrow from the Library or read online. What you borrow from the Library is completely confidential. For help finding a book, please ask our friendly staff at the Main Library Service Desk.
Student Services (01334 462720) and Occupational Health (01334 462752) staff are here for you if you would like someone to talk to.
