Top up your information skills with our Library Spring Sessions
2026-03-10

The Library is running a short series of Spring Sessions designed to give you a quick, confidence‑boosting refresh on the skills that matter most for your coursework and revision. These short, interactive sessions are a great way to top up your library skills before the spring break. All sessions will be delivered online. 

Here's what's coming up:

  • What are academic sources
    A quick guide to understanding what counts as reliable academic material and how to choose high-quality sources for your assignments
  • Using Primo to search the Library 
    Learn how to use Primo, the Library's search tool, to find books, articles and other resources effectively, to support assignments and projects
  • Principles of referencing
    An overview of why referencing matters, how to cite correctly and how to avoid common mistakes that cost marks
  • RefWorks
    An introduction to using RefWorks to collect, organise and automatically format your references

To find out more and book a place, go to: www.abdn.ac.uk/coursebooking and change the filter to 'Library Information Skills'. 

See you soon!
