Library Support on Moodle

There is now a link on Moodle to Library Support. This can be found on the left hand side under Faculty Links. When you go into it for the first time you will need to click on 'enrol me'. To view support for business students, click on 'Business and Management'.

Here you will find lots of guides, tutorials, videos, quizzes etc relating to information searching, using Locate and databases, evaluating information, using Google, referencing and Refworks. Some of the material we have created specifically for Coventry University students and other material is from external sources, providing some very useful guidance and tips.

Student Guide to Social Media

I have come across this very useful guide/tutorial. It was developed as a joint project by the Universities of Leeds, Manchester and York. It is aimed at undergraduate students and shows how different types of social media can help with your studies, e.g. networking, finding and sharing information and keeping up to date. It is really easy to use and includes lots of video clips from students talking about their own experiences with social media - well worth a look.
