Training sessions and InfoSkills

• The Library provides training for groups of students, ranging from basic inductions through to several levels of information skills training (please see our InfoSkills information for more details).
• Group sessions are normally arranged via subject librarians in library sites. InfoSkills training includes guidance on how to choose the right resources to use, how to search efficiently and how to evaluate the information you find.
• If you feel you would benefit from InfoSkills training, please ask your tutor about booking a session with your site library.
