Introduction to Information Skills

Are you new to finding academic information?

Has it been a few years since you last used an academic library?

Are you unsure how to find the information you need for your studies?

Do you need a refresher course covering the basics of information skills?

If the answer to any of these questions is 'YES', then come along to the Introduction to Information Skills training sessions taking place in the Library during week 1 and week 2.

Sessions will take place twice per day Monday to Friday from 5 - 16 October. You can come along at lunchtime from 13.00-14.00 or after your studies from 17.30-18.30.

There is no need to book a place, just turn up. Places will be allocated on a first-come, first-served basis. Places are limited to 30 per session.
