Research
The Library has a huge, diverse collection of materials. It has been used as a research resource by women undertaking projects locally, nationally and internationally. Visitors can access information across a range of formats and on a wide spectrum of topics related to women and gender.
Consultancy
As the sole Women’s Library in Scotland with a significant collection, a large membership and experienced staff, the Library regularly consults with media, academic, statutory and other colleagues involved in research. We can convene focus groups, deliver reports, undertake research projects and engage in other forms of consultation on gender and related equalities issues.

Our volunteer training programme is currently being revamped but we do offer training opportunities for women from camera and video skills, mandarin, bookmaking, creative writing to gardening through our Lifelong Learning programme.
