Referencing support can take a variety of forms:
Referencing sessions could include, or be substituted for, training on using RefWorks.
Asynchronous delivery enables learners to easily access support at times and places best suited to their needs and may be an ideal solution for students struggling to attend timetabled classes for whatever reason.
Online course-specific help produced by the Information Librarians can be embedded in module pages to maximise discoverability. This online provision may incorporate introductory videos covering referencing skills/competencies. Videos can be supported by online tutorials/quizzes to further reinforce learning.

How to access: Referencing
Referencing can be covered as part of the embedded information support described above. If your course has a requirement for a separate one-off referencing session, this will be delivered by a member of the library team, supported by lecture capture as appropriate.
Referencing sessions could be replaced with a RefWorks training session - or referencing and RefWorks could be combined within one session.
