Event details

About the event

Have an assignment due? Looking for peer-reviewed original research? Feel stressed that you can't find relevant articles for your topic? Need help with referencing?

Come to our online session, and we'll show you how to get started with searching and referencing. This session is designed for those studying within the Health faculty, but those from other faculties are welcome to attend. 

This workshop will cover:

  • how to unpack your topic to identify main concepts and related keywords
  • how to structure your search in a way that will retrieve relevant articles for your topic
  • which resources to search in: Library Search, Subject Databases and Google Scholar
  • why we reference
  • how to reference using a Referencing Style Guide
  • attribution – monitoring your use of citations
  • common referencing questions.
