In this session, advice will be given on how to find reputable source material using the library search facilities. We shall introduce you to the Dewey Decimal system, essential in finding books in direct relation to what you are looking for. We shall also include advice about accessing the journal databases; useful tips will be provided in identifying key words, combining these using the Boolean operators, to get to the most relevant and up to date information. We will show you how to narrow down a search so that you can access research articles that are directly relevant. We will also look at how Generative AI can be used to improve your searches.
