New look Learning and Research webpages

Were currently in the process of redesigning the Library web pages for Learning and Research support to make it easier than ever for you to find the information you need. So whether you need help with literature searching and writing assignments, or youre undertaking research and want help with the research process, youll find lots of top resources and guidance from the Learning and Research Services team. Our Information Literacy pages in particular give lots of guidance on the information skills required at different stages of the student journey, from induction to the workplace, allowing you to develop both your academic and employability skills. You'll find guidance on how to search databases, avoid plagiarism, cite your sources correctly and use Endnote to manage your references.
