The quality of your research is more like a muscle than you may, at first, expect.  The more you exercise it, the stronger it gets...

Your Librarian

Remember, the librarians are here to help you with your research and referencing.  We're one of the resources available to you at the university, and you are welcome to contact us for assistance or extra training.

Key Theme

  • Finding information is something best done on purpose.  Sure, you can find some stuff by accident.  You find better stuff when you know what you're looking for and where to look for it.

  • By doing a bit of preparation and using a few basic skills, you can save hours of time and get better results.

  • The quality of your research is reflected in your assignment, and has a direct effect on your marks - so don't neglect it!
