Ask a Librarian Drop-in

Do you need help finding information? Or how and when to reference? Or anything else?

This is your chance to ask us any questions you’ve got about finding and using information for your assignments, including where to look for good quality information, and when and how to reference correctly.  

Our drop-ins are an opportunity for you to meet with one of our librarians and ask us anything about using the libraries and our subject resources.  

There is no need to book.  Just come along to Aldham Robarts Library, Lower Ground Floor, Seminar Room 3.
