International students

On behalf of the staff of the Library & Information Services (LIS), I would like to welcome new international students to Aston University and to Aston University Library.  I hope that you will find the library and our web pages easy to use. However, if you do experience any difficulties with finding the information that you need for your studies, please don't hesitate to contact us. You can find us at the Help Desk in the library or you can email library@aston.ac.uk. Remember, we are here to help you.
