You may be starting project work this semester. If you are a bit concerned about how to go about doing a literature review, finding the information and data relevant to your topic or even just wondering how to write up your references at the end, the library is repeating its popular series of information sessions this year.
In co-operation with SORTED in the Student Union, library staff will be presenting a series of topics in the next few weeks:
“To Google or not to Google” is about making better use of search engines, evaluating online information and will introduce some of the library’s resources that you may not have used before.
“How to avoid Plagiarism” is suited to undergraduates looking for a better understanding of what Plagiarism is, why it’s bad and how to avoid it!
“Referencing – A beginner’s guide” gives advice and examples related to correctly referencing the sources you’re going to use in your project work.
All combined, these sessions could help make the entire literature review/project writing process a lot less daunting.
Check the Library Research and Information skills page for more information about the sessions running this semester.
You can book a place or get more information through SORTED in the Student Union.
