Library Guides
- Help your students to get started with their research and connect with high-quality information sources for a range of subject areas by providing them with links to Library Guides. These guides introduce students to the most relevant resources, including journals, books, databases, and more.
- Select guides to include in your lectures, tutorials, and LMS sites. You can select from 'How to' guides for skill building, guides that help you 'Find and Access' particular types of resources, or guides that focus on the most relevant resources for your subject area for your course, subject or assessment task.
- Your liaison librarian can help with selecting the most appropriate guide for your teaching.
