Do your research.

Have you had a ‘Library skills: the next step’ session with one of our Faculty Librarians? If not, ask your lecturer to arrange it with one of our librarians. This is an in-depth focused session on undertaking a substantial piece of individual research, such as a dissertation. You can also book a one to one appointment.

Wherever you are in the dissertation or final year process, utilise available resources to keep you on the right track. Take a look at this link below:
