Edge Hill Learning Services

Blackwell bookshop now have both an online and physical presence at Edge Hill University, based in the foyer of the Ormskirk LRC – Blackwell have established a very welcoming retail area that supplies core reading material, and stationery and I.T. consumables such as pen drives.

Blackwell in association with Edge Hill University offer a 5% discount to all students, and customers can pay using their Unicard or credit/debit card online or in store. Current students can access the Blackwell online store via http://www.blackwell.co.uk/edgehill

Students who choose to pay by Unicard will be asked to validate their purchase by visiting an LRC at either Ormskirk, Woodlands or Aintree.

Staff will be on hand at the LRC’s and at the Blackwell shop to assist students in ordering items, however, the process is very simple and can easily be done from home, from placement or anywhere else with Internet access.

The results of the 2006 Learning Services ‘Learning Spaces Survey’ are now avialable >>>

Learning Services welcomes feedback from all of its customers so watch out for the 2007 survey which is coming soon!

Learning Services have introduced more new facilities, to enhance your study experience. In addition to our current self-issue machine, we have added a further two self issue and one self return machine. This means that you can return your books yourself, and they will immediately come off your library account.

Why self issue?

Learning Services are always working on new projects, and introducing self-issue has allowed us to use staff time elsewhere. Recent projects include digitisation of key material (that chapter of a book that you needed?), reading list management and SMS text messages to students. Staff will also be around more to help you on a one to one basis, and if you ever get stuck all you need to do is ask at the helpdesk or call us on 01695 584286.
