Research Skills Support Offer

Self-led support - research skills and referencing

Student-led support:

Subject LibGuides offer students support, that they can access themselves at point of need, for their individual subject areas.  These online guides, produced by Information Librarians, offer advice on the key resources for each subject and how to get access and search for information.

Research Skills videos are designed to give students an introduction to and overview of the skills and approaches needed to be successful in their research, use of academic databases, evaluation of sources and referencing.

The Referencing Guide LibGuide provides guidance on how students reference their information sources.

There are individual LibGuides for each referencing style.
