Ask a DBS Librarian


Research Skills

The ability to research and use information effectively is a key skill that will help you to achieve success, not only during your time in college but throughout your life. Research and information skills encompass the ability to identify what you are looking for, to find the relevant information and to use it effectively and ethically. DBS Library provides support to help you perfect these skills.

 

A dedicated member of Library staff - the Information Skills Librarian - runs inductions, library tours and classes to help you get the most from the Library and to perform better in your examinations and assignments. We also have a large selection of guides available, covering a wide range of topics and resources from Using the Library Catalogue to Avoiding Plagiarism to Thesis planning, research and design.  Check out the links below for more details.
