SAAW: Academic Skills

Our latest Share, Adapt, Adopt workshop, hosted in partnership with the TIPS Community, sees Angela Newton, Jon Cook, and Trevor Hough from our University Library share their knowledge of new and upcoming resources. These include resources that can help with literature searches, a new resource that can create a reading list in 2 minutes, and an resource-in-development that can help students better understand how the paragraph works in academic writing. Short Blurbs for each presentation are listed below- you can sign up here.
