How can you get students to move beyond Google and unlock the value contained in your online library collections?
Students may all be ‘digital natives’ these days, but that doesn’t mean they know how to use online resources effectively. Some might even think using Google is the last word in online research. How can you help them use the trusted, authoritative sources they need to cite, which you’ve carefully curated?
Once your users understand how to search online databases, usage skyrockets, especially with a resource such as Legal Research, on Lexis+® UK, that offers a huge range of clearly-written, authoritative content. And when they discover they can set up alerts to keep them automatically updated with new developments? Then you’ve got them hooked.
You’re already overstretched. It’s a struggle to keep training and induction material up to date, especially as online resources evolve. We get it. It’s why to save you time, we maintain a range of guides to UUÂãÁÄÖ±²¥ products that you can provide to your library users, so they can get going faster.
