Week 11: a look forward to next semester


As the end of term appears on the horizon we hope you have enjoyed this term.  It has been nice meeting you at 1-2-1 training, at inductions, in classes, at our drop-ins or just around the campus.  Thank you to everyone who came to our drop-in training sessions, over 100 attendances recorded!  We would love your feedback on these sessions and any suggestions you have for training next semester.  We are hoping to have sessions on FAME and Mintel, referencing and Library Search refresher; any other suggestions welcome.

Let us know your thoughts by emailing one of the WBS Librarians http://www.westminster.ac.uk/academicliasion or tweeting @UniWestLib or leaving a comment on the blog. Look out for us next week on the Learning Platform- we will be popping up there for 30mins each day so if you see us come and say hello and let us know your thoughts.
