During your session in the Library, you will also be introduced to our new online resource – History Study Center. Please ask me if you need more practice with this.
Effective Research: Recording, Referencing and Bibliography
This is the presentation that I gave you on Wednesday 16 June. You can watch the presentation again here. Also, it will stay on the Learning Resources> Presentations page.
I have been asked to do some presentations to our Sixth Form about Independent Learning, Study and Research Skills. These will take place soon and I will upload the presentations to SlideShare for all to see. To accompany these, I have started to use an amazing site called Glogster where you can make posters. The first one is here, the rest will be put on the Learning Skills pages as I make them.
Welcome to the website of the Michael Parker Library at The Dixie Grammar School.
