Testimonials

"A fantastic course. This program has really complemented our existing knowledge in equality and disability, and in meeting the needs of all our students" (Elspeth Mackie, Leeds College of Art)

"The session went very well, and the feedback from staff was overwhelmingly positive. Staff thought that the session was very helpful, that it was engaging and interesting and that Jeanette was an excellent trainer. One member of staff qualified the session as 'brilliant'. Everyone thought that Jeanette was amazing at keeping our interest for almost 3 hours and for making us think of serious issues in a fun way without needing any props!" (Catherine Lauriol, library officer, Birkbeck University).

"Memnos was great. I had excellent feedback from the session and everyone was impressed at how effectively he presented and many came back saying they'd like to be as good as him! Memnos has a way of inviting us into his world which is so incredibly welcoming and open. I look forward to him training a new group on Friday!" (Tatiana Pavlovsky, Hackney Learning Trust).

Discover: Getting the most out of library resources 

Are you searching on Google and getting overwhelmed with the amount of information you are getting back?  How do you know what you are finding is the right type and quality for your assignment?  

Discover, the library search tool, is the simple way to search for relevant books, e-books, journal articles, databases and more.  

This session will show you how to access a range of resources and make the best use of the features of Discover, including advanced search, saving searches and items and creating search alerts.

So, if you are not sure how or where to start, or if you want to learn how to get better search results then this is the session for you.  

There will be opportunities to ask questions throughout the session.

This class will take place in Teams and a link will be sent out to attendees on the day of the event.
