Workshops, training and one-to-ones

Each Tuesday, at 15:00-16:00 (from 19 September 2023), one of our Research Skills Advisors makes themselves a cup of tea and waits patiently for your questions. Join them via Zoom to keep them company, and ask anything research skills or library-related.

• Using FindIt@Bham effectively: you can also drop into our FindIt@Bham face to face sessions 12:00-13:00 on Wednesday 25 October 2023 and Wednesday 29 November 2023 in the Main Library Training Room (fourth floor)
• Library collections and resources
• Doing excellent literature searching
• Managing your references
• Basics of managing data
• Setting up an ORCID
• Research metrics
• Curating your online publication profile
• Anything else library related you've always wanted to ask - no question too basic!

PGRs can access the link from their Canvas course.  Staff can email us for the Zoom link.

On the first Thursday of each month, 11.00-12.00, the Research Skills Team host a relaxed coffee morning in the first floor Researcher Suite in the Main Library. Join us for a cuppa and a biscuit, and a chat about anything library-related.

Upcoming dates:

A day for you to work on your own writing, planning or literature discovery in a quiet but supportive environment. There will be time to set targets at the beginning of the day and there will be regular planned breaks to enable you to network with colleagues or take a walk.
