Skills for study and research

Sessions are available for all modules and levels, and can range from a basic introduction to using LibrarySearch and academic journals for first year students to subject-specific research sessions for postgraduate students and staff.

For a basic introduction to Library resources:

  • Your subject guide will list key subject-specific resources, databases and starting points.
  • See our drop-in sessions throughout the year. You may also have subject-specific sessions in your scheduled class times.

Staff and PhD students
We offer the research-specific sessions below:

  • Starting your literature review
  • Reference management
    • Endnote
    • Mendeley
  • Keeping up to date with research
  • How to choose which journal to publish in
  • Open access and publishing in the repository
  • Copyright - What does it mean for me and research/publishing?

These sessions will be available throughout the year, or you can contact your subject librarian to book a session for a particular group, or tailored to a specific subject area.
