Subject Librarians can really help with this. When we see students for individual appointments or in timetabled workshop sessions, it's often to help them navigate the wealth of information out there and find the reliable, relevant content that they need.

We have online subject Library Guides to help with this, with an Ask a Librarian instant chat service if students (or staff!) have a quick question to ask. The Library Guides act as a gateway to databases and other resources students can use to do their research.

Students who need some help searching effectively and evaluating what they find can use our SWOTs tutorials to help. These are short online tutorials that help students to find information and develop their skills. We have an introductory one for finding journal articles and a more advanced one.

These resources enhance the support librarians can offer face to face. They offer flexibility so students can find guidance when they need it. Services like instant chat and subject librarians' team emails (available on the individual Library guides) make it easier for students (and staff!) to reach out for extra help when they need it.

I would advise caution when considering Khan Academy, whilst many resources are good there are a number that I have come across that contain fundamental flaws. This is obviously true of most online open source resources, but for a platform that actively markets itself for education better quality control should be in place.

# data[].attributes.body
Has anyone any experience of using Perusall (see link) or (even better) a free-for-learners alternative? It looks like it would be a great tool for  supporting acquisition of knowledge, collaboration and discussion, and investigation through texts... (The distinction between texts and digital texts isn't terribly meaningful unless the digital texts come with additional tools...)

Motivate students with a social learning experience to increase engagement, drive collaboration, and build community through course content, including books, articles, web pages, videos, podcasts, and images.

We've got some collaborative learning from the library in action this week! We're running an introduction to Twitter run over the course of a week. We call it 5 Days of Twitter! It's a brilliant way to find out more about Twitter and how it works if you're new to it, but also a good way to re-evaluate your use of Twitter and build your network if you're a more experienced tweep.

The course is run via a blog - sign up and get information and a task to do each day - but the real value is the exchanges that happen on Twitter during the week and beyond. Already this week I've been inspired to be more deliberate in my use of Twitter - carving out regular time to check in and see what's going on in the library and HE world!

It's not too late to get involved with 5 Days of Twitter, or just find out a bit more. Take a look at the blog, or follow #su5dot on Twitter. We've used the 5 days approach to cover things like referencing and intro to the library too - it's a a nice, flexible approach to use.

# data[].attributes.body
I have to chip in on this one! Librarians live to help students find the best content (across all media) to read and research. Your subject librarians offer classes and one to one support in literature searching, which includes knowing where and how to find information and critically evaluating it. Did you know, though, that the library also offers a digitsation service? If there's a key chapter in the text book, we can make that available on Blackboard so all your students have access to it. (It's important that this sort of thing is done via the library to stay copyright-compliant!) More information on our Library Guide.
