Information for Library Staff

It would be wonderful if you could kick start the LibGuides pages on set research tasks for us!

If you could ...

Design the page the same as this template
Build the boxes with the yellow headers and keep them in the same location on the template.
Start to add the information to the boxes.
Disable the Box Comments
Email us the link when you have finished and we'll work on the middle section for research skills and add anything else we can think of to the other sections.

Huge thanks!!!!
