Library training for your students

Please remember that I am more than happy to provide Library group training for your undergraduate as well as honours students.

In these typically one hour-sessions I provide the students with an overview of:

• How to search for books
• Which databases are suitable for their subject area
• Using Bibliographic as well as Full Text databases
• Finding the full text article from a citation/reference/abstract
• Reference techniques
• RefWorks (if time permits and if asked for specifically)

If you have a specific topic that you would like me to focus on I am more than happy to do that.

As the Masters and especially the PhD students research are very topic specific it requires more intense research (from them) and Library training (from me), I prefer to train them in one-on-one sessions.

In the one-on-one sessions I cover all of the items mentioned above, but focus specifically on the individual topic the student has to research. I also explain:

• the Interlibrary Loan process
• the Letters of Introduction allowing them access to other universities
• RefWorks

As mentioned these sessions are more intense in nature and usually takes up to an hour and a half to two hours.

To the right of this blog you will find my Office calender where I indicate the dates/times that I am already booked for training - please consult the calender when you plan to schedule Library training.

I look forward to seeing your students this year!
