Improve Your Research Skills is aimed at all students studying at a distance at a partner college or centre.
As an off campus student you are able to use the library resources online which includes eBooks and eJournal articles and 24/7 chat support.
These pages will help you build on the skills you learnt in the first year of your foundation degree on accessing eResources (eBooks and eJournals), using the My Module Resources reading lists and Key Subject Resources (eJournals, Open Access journals, websites and organisations in your subject area).These skills act as a springboard for you to now go onto searching for a research topic. In addition the pages include tips on critical thinking, reading and writing and introduce accessibility tools to help you use the resources.
Take a tour of the library shelves at St Peter’s for a reminder of where to find the books:
