Dissertation time!



Many students are undertaking their dissertations at this time of year. If you are one of them and would like help finding resources, you can book a one-to-one session with you Academic Support Librarian. Your librarian can help you with a range of things, such as the best way of searching for materials, how to use the library catalogue and e-library efficiently and how you can access resources from home, as well as introducing you to the different types of materials you have access to at Salford University. To book an appointment, you can use the online booking sheet found here at: http://www.library.salford.ac.uk/subjects/. To find your Academic Support Librarian, simply select your subject area from the drop-down menu. You will then be taken to their page. Scroll down to the bottom to find the booking form.
