This session also gave you the chance to ask any library and referencing questions you may have up to this point. This session is a refresher following on from your level 4 library session in October 2016.  Please add your groups post to this board by 12noon on Monday 13th Feb.  Feel free to post any additional questions you may have on here too.]]> 2017-02-06 08:38:40 UTC https://padlet.com/tracyfroggatt/n7ienrfms7f/wish/151742412 tracyfroggatt https://padlet.com/tracyfroggatt/n7ienrfms7f/wish/151742413 Here's the link to the Skills for Learning webpage: http://www.salford.ac.uk/skills-for-learning]]> 2017-02-06 08:38:40 UTC https://padlet.com/tracyfroggatt/n7ienrfms7f/wish/151742413 tracyfroggatt https://padlet.com/tracyfroggatt/n7ienrfms7f/wish/151742414

We also think this will encourage us to use more books from the library as it is much easier.
