Our Library Skills Online sessions on Zoom are here to help students at all levels with key skills throughout their studies. These meetings are informal and are designed to give you a chance to ask questions.
Our sessions are available to all UWS students and take place during mornings, afternoons and evenings to give everyone a chance to attend.
If you can't make the live sessions, we have included resources you can use at a time that suits you. You can also contact your Academic Librarian for individual advice.
Is there another topic that will help you and your classmates? Let us know and we'll work to include it in a future session. You can email your suggestions to library@uws.ac.uk or contact us through the Self Service Portal.
