Do you need help with an information search or do you need tips on sources?

Do you have any questions about reference management or a reference management programme?

You are welcome to attend a drop-in guidance session in Zoom, every Tuesday and Thursday at 12:00-13:00, during the semester. Here you will meet librarians and you can ask questions in a breakout room. Make sure you're well prepared! If you need more help after the drop-in guidance session, you can book an individual appointment, which can be done digitally or on site.
