Information Literacy Programme

These interactive sessions will equip new students and returners who would like a "refresher", with everything you need to know to understand the role of your departmental librarian, what they can do for you.

During the series, they will walk you through relevant online resources helping you to evaluate how to use them in an impactful way to enrich your research activity. They will guide you to explore the fundamentals of referencing and citation, help you think about research and its methodology in practice, and how to read strategically and kick-start into the writing process.
