In your final year? Working on your dissertation?


Do you need help with researching your topic or referencing the sources you've cited?

If the answer's yes, then the Library can help. Free, individual, or small group (maximum of three), sessions are available in the Library most afternoons (email: John at jsanford@pca.ac.uk or Richard at rbirley@pca.ac.uk to confirm). Get the most from your Library by learning how to effectively search our databases (e.g. JSTOR and Art Source), understand abstracting and find and cite journal articles.
