Information skills & tools

Librarians provide a range of services and tools to help you enhance your information and research skills.

Library Research Guides

Have you ever wanted to read the mind of a librarian to find useful information in your subject area?

Library Research Guides are almost as good. The librarians compile guides on topics to share their knowledge of key information sources and can be a great starting point for your research. Other guides focus on topics such as copyright, getting started with ebooks, evaluating free Internet resources and research practices such as data management.
