PLEASE READ: Library and research sessions on the Wednesday 18th and Thursday 19th February

Dear all,

This is to let you know that I will be visiting Brussels on Wednesday 18th and Thursday 19th February to deliver library research training.

At 13:00 on Wednesday 18th February (in the Wilson room) we will be looking at a range of research databases including the new Library Resource Discovery system (LibrarySearch). This session will cover sources for primary and secondary research materials and include significant coverage of reference management software (Refworks). I will also talk about the Brussels Patron Driven Acquisition scheme and highlight the support that is available to Brussels students when undertaking research: http://www.kent.ac.uk/library/students/brussels.html

From 9:00 on the morning of Thursday 19th February (in the Groom room) I will be around to offer drop-in advice so please come along with anything research based that you would like help with – this could be how to reference for your assignments, get signposts for starting a new piece of research, searching the academic web or getting the best out of related library services and systems such as multimedia. If I can help I will or if I don’t know the answer I will hopefully know the right person to ask!

All our welcome and I really look forward to seeing you all then.

Best regards,
Ben
