Several of you are yet to use the library to do any research for your project.
Before you go to a library please use the Birmingham Libraries online catalogue search to decide where to go:
Click on the 'Full Catalogue Search', type in a key word to do with your research project and, as we did in the libraries research lesson, view details on the book and find out what library it's in. Do an additional search on the book's ISBN if there isn't enough information on the library website. You can use the http://www.waterstones.co.uk/ website to help with this.
If you can, reserve the book and go and get it. If you can't reserve it it may be reference only so go in, ask for help from a librarian (they won't bite or behave like the old one from Ghostbusters!) and photocopy the pages you need.
Tips:
1. Bring your library card
2. Check location and opening hours of the library you are going to
3. Make a list of key words you can look up in the index of larger books
