FM3 Small Scale Research Project 2016

One of the most important factors of the FM3 Small Scale Research coursework is to support your ability to perform independent research, to evaluate the usefulness and appropriateness of sources and to organise your research into a coherent final product.

Join the library.

If you don't already have a library card, you need to join Birmingham libraries online. Follow this link to do so: https://library-opac.birmingham.gov.uk/cgi-bin/spydus.exe/MSGTRN/OPAC/JOIN

If you have previously been a member of the library but you don't know any of your membership details or where your library card is, then drop the library an email letting them know and asking if they can help you to renew your membership. The email address is: enquiries@libraryofbirmingham.com

Once you've joined the library, you will be able to search the online catalogue.

You can search using a variety of terms including names, authors, titles and key words. You can find the catalogue for Birmingham Libraries here: https://library-opac.birmingham.gov.uk/cgi-bin/spydus.exe/MSGTRN/OPAC/HOME

Harvard Referencing

We will use Harvard referencing to organise your annotated catalogues. We will work through some examples in class so don't be intimidated by it! http://www.newman.ac.uk/Library/referencing.htm#backtolist
