Information Services workshops and events are here to help you get started with the skills you need for success at University. There are bookable sessions on a range of different topics, and also regular drop-ins on different campuses.
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.
