Who am I?
I am the Academic Librarian for Business, Law, and Social Sciences. You'll likely meet me during your library induction or workshops organised by your lecturers.
How can I help you?
As a Business student, you'll encounter a vast amount of information during your studies. My role is to help you navigate the library's resources effectively and efficiently, ensuring you find the most relevant and reliable sources for your assignments and research projects.
Here's how I can specifically support you:
- Finding information for assignments: I can guide you through the library's catalogue, databases, and other resources to locate relevant books, articles, reports, and statistics for your coursework.
- Researching your final year project: I can help you develop a comprehensive research strategy, identify key resources, and evaluate the quality and relevance of information you find.
- Using our databases: I can show you how to navigate specialised business databases, use advanced search techniques, and refine your results to find the most relevant information.
- Citing and referencing: I can teach you how to cite your sources correctly using Harvard referencing (Cite Them Right), ensuring you avoid plagiarism and give proper credit to the authors whose work you have used.
- Postgraduate research: If you're pursuing postgraduate studies, I can offer tailored support in developing your research skills, accessing specialised resources, and managing your references effectively.
I can also help you with:
- Inter-library loans: If the library doesn't hold a specific item you need, I can help you obtain it through inter-library loan, often from the British Library, which holds a vast collection of resources. Remember that copyright restrictions apply, with limits on the number of chapters or articles that can be supplied digitally.
- Literature reviews: I can guide you in conducting comprehensive literature reviews, identifying key themes and gaps in the existing research.
Don't hesitate to ask!
My goal is to empower you to become confident and independent researchers. If you have any questions or need assistance with your academic work, please don't hesitate to get in touch. I am here to support you throughout your studies.
