Experiment with PowerPoint on your own device as the session explores how you can build up your presentation slides to include text, shapes, images and video.

The session will look at backgrounds, how slides move from one to the next and more. You'll be able to ask questions as we go along.

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 have about searching for 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 Mount Pleasant Library (formerly Aldham Robarts) Academic Success Hub on the Ground Floor. 

This session will focus on ORCiD, a unique digital identifier that distinguishes you from every other researcher. We will discuss how to get an ORCiD, how to link with Symplectic and how to start using your ORCiD to share information about you.

Enrol on our Library Researcher Engagement Canvas page to access slides, recording and notes.
