Library teaching and research consultations 2006 (Semester 2)

The beginning of semester is a very good time for grounding your students in the use of the library and information resources.

Library Seminars
If the Library has taught your students in the past please remember that you will need to reconfirm this soon. If you haven't made use of this service, we are able to take new bookings but will need time to prepare a session that will suit the specific needs of your paper. It is always a good idea to get in early to make sure that our Training Room is available at the time you want it. We are of course happy to come out to speak to students within lectures or tutorials as well.

Research Consultations
Postgraduate students and staff can also benefit from a one-on-one research consultation. We will outline the main information resources available to them and teach them the use of databases and electronic sources in detail, and also advice on managing references with EndNote. A research consultation can provide the basis for ongoing contact between a researcher and the Library over the course of their studies. A research consultation is especially useful at the beginning of their thesis or research project, before they have wasted a lot of time or fallen into bad habits!
