The User Education pages on the University Library (UL) website offer a wide range of free training courses, mostly half day or one day, covering areas such as using the online Electronic Resources (journals, bibliographic databases, subject resources), Newton (the web based catalogue covering most of the libraries of the University) and various individual subject-based resource courses.
The website has a course timetable for this term. Most courses do not need to be pre-booked, but note that the Newton Hands-on course must be pre-booked. Fewer courses are offered this term - there will be many more opportunities to attend in future terms. The courses are generally ‘hands-on’ oriented, each person having a PC to use.
Even if you cannot attend the courses, you can still download comprehensive hand-outs which come with most of the courses.
Remember our own User Guide and Resource Guide. The Library staff are always keen to help you with the online resources - or any aspect of using the Library - but they cannot normally devote the time or offer the hands-on training that the UL offers.
