Autumn Dissertation Festival 2021

We want  Honours and PG students to make full use of library resources and services to write well researched and creative dissertations. 

The Library’s online  Dissertation Festival  in 25-29 October 2021  showcases how the Library can support the student dissertation experience.  Our diverse sessions range from exploring what library resources are available to support a research question, to managing the bibliographic and research data students find.    

The online sessions will be recorded for access after the event and include:  

• How to use the Library for your dissertation 

• Building complex searches for systematic reviews 

• Introduction to online resources for religion and theology 

• Using the National Records of Scotland  

• Finding historical documents online 

• Annotated bibliographies, literature reviews and the Library  

• Improve your research skills with SAGE Research Methods  

Full programme details are now available.

Live session times don’t suit your students? Dissertation Festival sessions are complemented by the modules in the new LibSmart II online course which can be undertaken at any time to build student knowledge and skills in the library landscape for their dissertation research. For more information, view the LibSmart pages.
