Your librarians can help you with questions relating to the information you need for your work, such as where to find the information sources and different types of information, how to reference them in your School style, how to manage the information you gather and read, and how to improve your literature searches including for systematic reviews.

Sharpen your ability to locate scholarly articles and primary sources effectively, ensuring your research is comprehensive and impactful.

This session is suitable for students undertaking a stand-alone literature review or as part of a wider assignment, such as a dissertation. It would also be useful to students undertaking a dissertation/project proposal module.
