Academic Skills – help available over the Christmas break

As we get to the end of term, lots of you are working on assessments that you need to submit soon or are preparing for exams in the new year (or both!).

Our Academic Skills Team can offer advice on developing your skills and will be available until the end of next week, and we will be back in the Library offering appointments from 3rd January.  If you find yourself in need of information on academic skills in the meantime, don’t forget that you can access our online skills resources at any time, from anywhere.  We have guidance available on academic writing, referencing, revision strategies and much more: it can all be found on via our Library Resources page.  Look particularly under ‘I need help with…’, and if you haven’t accessed these resources before and want some information on how best to find your way around, we have a handy video guide at http://libguides.staffs.ac.uk/firstweeks/onlinestudyskillsresources.

We hope everybody takes some time to rest and re-charge after a busy term, and we look forward to seeing you all in the new year.

Merry Christmas to all

The Academic Skills Team
