IALS Library runs a wide range of training for our many registered readers. Use the tabs at the top of the page to find out what sessions are running each term.
All academic members of IALS Library are welcome to attend our training sessions. Any postgraduate researcher, visiting fellow or member of teaching staff with a current Library card or SAScard may attend, regardless of level, background or affiliation. If you have not yet joined the library, you can find out how to register here.
In the 2022/23 academic year we are offering a comibation of live webinars and face-to-face sessions in our library training room. See the relevant tabs in this guide to find out what's on each term and book your place.
It is strongly recommended that you attend the training sessions in the autumn term, especially if you are new to the library, to law or to using legal databases in the UK. If you can't make the training due to late arrival in London, please get in touch and we can give you a brief run through of what you need to know to use the library effectively.
New students may find it helpful to refer to our online guide Info for new students. Things may be different in the 2021-22 academic year due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Please check our webpages or contact us ials@sas.ac.uk for the most up-to-date information on our services.
Spaces for our training sessions are always in high demand. If you are running late please get in touch with us at ials@sas.ac.uk to let us know. If you don't turn up on time we will assume you aren't coming and may offer your space to another student.
