Friday 3rd May 2013

I have attended a couple of workshops run by Michelle and Bernadette with different group of students last week on 24th and 26th April(26th being public holiday). The group had their essay/assignment topic. They showed how to search with different search strategies, forming keyword and synonyms, etc. Michelle’s class was with Navitas students.
Referencing sources and referencing activities : locating and saving resources, record citation details and understanding different referencing styles.
I also went with Barbara to a class in Orange 1 to deliver training on locating information.
Also attended Bernadette’s Endnote training from 11-12 am on 1st May.
Rest of the time I spent on checking links and tidying libguide and going through My Research Page. I also realized some of the links on the said page do not work: My Research-preparation-library resource-chapter 2-getting started is not working. I requested Ujjal to help me embed eSpace search box in theses libguide. But there are some problems arranging boxes.
I also spent some time doing tutorial in Contribute.
I attended Sally’s workshop on 2nd May from 10:30-12:30. Introducing to library services, distance services, Libguides, midwifery guide, cinahl, referencing, health online, activity, quiz..so interesting!
I am checking in catalogue for the resources that are in yellow folders for Barbara. And I have done service desk statistics for reference queries between 4-6 for last semester and this semester.
