Librarians: Working with academic staff

We can run sessions or part of sessions covering literature searching and referencing.

Get in touch with us to request or discuss learning and academic skills support in your modules. If you'd like session on both academic writing and finding information/referencing, we can also run session in collaboration with CLaSS.

The  main referencing style used at DMU is Harvard (Cite The Right). We have created a number of resources that you can direct students to for guidance on Referencing:

• A video introducing referencing and Cite them right - aimed at new students using Harvard (Cite Them Right), it is a short introduction (5 mins) to referencing and where to go for support.  You can add it to student's LearningZone shells either as a video or as an embedded Powerpoint.
• In depth narrated interactive presentations  'How to cite and reference in the Harvard style'  or 'How to cite and reference in the OSCOLA style' which are based on the presentations delivered as part of the Open Programme workshops.   

All the materials you expect your students to read, watch or listen to, should be added to the module's online resource list.

Check the Resource list guide for more information on all aspects of resource lists, including how to create and edit them

We offer a range of support to enable you to create your lists beside the online course available from the resource list guide::
