Find it Fast!

Information Skills Workshops 

 

 

The Find it Fast! workshops are designed to help undergraduate and taught postgraduate students identify and use the vast range of information resources available to them from the University of Aberdeen. These workshops cover the search process from beginning to end, demonstrating the importance of good information seeking and information management skills, while focusing on particular resources to help you find the materials you need fast. 

 

As not everyone is able to attend the sessions in person this site contains all the materials related to the workshops, including slides from the presentations, accompanying worksheets which guide you through the features covered, as well as other relevant information.

 

This site also contains teaching materials from workshops the Library provides to Postgraduate Researchers, or PhD students. 

 

Also included here is a section related to the Ethical Use of Information, which is important to consider so that you do not fall into the trap of being accused of plagiarism.

 

The Further Information section of this wiki will point you in the direction of other information to help you make best use of the many resources available through the Library.

 

If you require any further guidance on using library materials please do contact library staff, either in person at one of our libraries, or via email. Contact details by subject area are available here.
