| Help and guidance - information skills |
The Library offers a range of user education workshops to support the development of information, IT and research skills. Sessions range from general induction talks and tours, to focused workshops on literature searching, using bibliographic indexes and databases, and accessing and evaluating Internet resources.
Sessions can be either scheduled within the timetable, or offered at other times convenient to the students concerned. Academic staff can arrange a session by filling in an Information skills session request form and sending it to your relevant liaison librarian.
