Time to revisit our A-Z of all things library related! This
week we’re moving on to the letter Q...
Q is for:
·
Quality
– Information is everywhere these days and is available at the touch of a
button, 24/7. But with so much information out there and with so many sources
to choose from, how can you be sure of its quality and provenance? By resisting
the lure of Google and Wikipedia and visiting your nearest UWTSD library that’s
how! Our libraries will only ever provide you with reputable, up-to-date and
peer reviewed information, taking much of the stress out of your research. So, the next
time you’re preparing for an assignment, project or dissertation, remember it’s
quality not quantity that counts!
·
Questions
– Our highly experienced library staff have a wealth of knowledge and
experience and are used to dealing with your questions and queries...we’ve
probably answered just about every type of question over the years! So if you’re
struggling with your research and need help, don’t be afraid to come and ask us.
There’s no question too big or too small!
·
Quiet
– We try not to live up to the typical ‘shushing librarian’ stereotype these
days (!!) and it’s true that there are many areas of the library where it is
perfectly ok for you to talk and work in groups...but we do still maintain
quiet study areas for those that need them. So, if you are looking for a little
oasis of calm to get that last minute assignment or revision done, visit one of
our libraries and look for the quiet zones.
