Library Online Courses and Workshops – Get Ready for Your Studies!
September 13, 2024
As we head towards a new semester, the Library has updated the online courses and planned a series of workshops to support your learning and research journey.
We are thrilled to announce that our online course has been redesigned to better suit both undergraduate and postgraduate students. Now titled “Mastering Library Resources for Learning, Research, and Academic Success”, it includes 6 compulsory modules introducing essential research skills, and 1 optional module for those with advanced research needs or aiming for a scholarly path.
The “Using EndNote” course has also been updated for EndNote 21 and will continue to assist researchers in learning the key features of this useful reference management tool.
Join both to ace your research assignments!
