LISS DTP Parents and Carers group

LISS DTP: Parent/Carer Students Group 

Funded by the LISS-DTP, the Parent/Carer Group is a support hub for students and ECRs who are also parents/carers, whose multiple roles exacerbate time constraints and increase stress, health risks and isolation. We support members’ wellbeing and research career progress through monthly peer support Check-in Circles, ad hoc Sounding Board Sessions, where we discuss research-specific content, and workshops tailored to support the wellbeing and productivity of parents and carers.  The group is open to any student parent/carer from partnering institutions: Imperial, King’s College London and Queen Mary University of London.

Borrow recreational audiobooks and e-books with Libby

Borrow recreational audiobooks and e-books to read on your phone or tablet using the Libby app by OverDrive.

Sign in to OverDrive for access to nearly 600 audiobooks and e-books including bestsellers, prize-winning fiction, and titles in German, Spanish and French.

Download the Libby app to borrow up to 10 titles for 14 days. Titles expire automatically at the end of the loan period so you do not have to return them.

If someone else has borrowed the title you want, just place a hold on it and the service will let you know when it’s available.

You can also use ‘Recommend to library’ to suggest additional titles to purchase. This feature is available in OverDrive (coming soon to Libby).

Libby is only available to Imperial staff and students.
