Learning Events Presents: Library Survival Skills

New to HKBU Library? Or do you feel like you need to brush up your research skills? Our Library Survival Skills Series is for you!

These introductory workshops will equip you with important information skills. They are intended for students that have not had a lot of experience with academic research at university. The world of scholarly information can be intimidating, so why not let your librarians introduce you to the basics?

What’s more, you will get a half-credit towards your Co-Curricular Learning (CCL) requirement.

Search like a Pro! Learn how to use ProQuest and EBSCOhost to find literature effectively
