I gave my (15-minute) talk to ENGR101 students yesterday – the slides are at K:\information_services\information_literacy\Tutorials_by_subject\Engineering\ENGR101\ENGR101_2012.pptx

You can see I didn’t have time to tell them much! It’d be useful for me (and their lecturer) to know how many students are coming confused to the desk so if you can make a tally on the desk stats sheet for any questions on ENGR101/life cycle analysis of vehicles, etc, that’d be fantastic.

They’re likely to need help with using MultiSearch and citing; they’re likely to *want* help with being told exactly what keywords to plug in to get the One True Result, but I prefer to help them work it out for themselves, by asking what information they want and then plugging in the words they come up with.

Again, if they have questions beyond what you can deal with, send them to:

• the topic guide on the ENGR101 LibGuide
• book into an “ENGR101 drop-in session” via the “Book a Library Course” link on the library homepage (as long as they seem keen enough to actually show up 🙂 )
• ask on the “Library and research questions” forum under “Assignment 1” in the ENGR101 course on Learn

Thanks,

Deborah
