TLU Resources

"Will you or your students be involved in research during your/their time in MTU? Do your funders require you to make your research outputs available through Open Access? Are you planning to publish articles, conference papers, monographs, book chapters or any related datasets? Are you creating reports, entries for conference proceedings or posters? Will you be hosting a conference in the coming year? Do you have a journal that needs an online home? If the answer is yes to any of the above, then you really should watch the recording and view the resources below. The aim of SWORD is to collect, disseminate and preserve all of MTU’s research under one roof. By doing this SWORD can enhance the impact of your research and broaden the scope of the research activities for you and your departments. Those who attending this session learned: What SWORD is and what it does What types of research and scholarly work are suitable for SWORD How SWORD can host conferences and journals Why you should deposit research in SWORD How to deposit your work in SWORD"

This workshop should be of interest to all academic staff but in particular to those lecturing in Accountancy, Chemistry, Economics, Engineering, Maths & Stats, Mechanics, Physics or Programming. In 2018 CIT Library created subject guides for each of these areas.

The aim of this workshop was to emphasise the importance of information literacy for students and to give staff the opportunity to familiarise themselves with the services offered by the library to both students and staff.
