An introduction to University Libraries | What you need to know about using an academic library

#SchoolLeavers #University #UoYTips

This is a video about how academic libraries work, and how they're different from what you might be used to from school or college. It's produced here at the University of York but it's not just for our students: it's for everyone. If you're a school leaver and you're coming into Higher Education, here's what to expect from your University Library.

In the final section of this video we mention some useful resources. One is our Skills Guides: https://subjectguides.york.ac.uk/skills - these are aimed mostly at our own students but anyone can use most of the tutorials on there. In particular check out the sections on Choosing The Right Sources, and Searching For Information: https://subjectguides.york.ac.uk/skills/find. The other link worth looking at is our guide to all the unfamiliar terms and words we use in academic libraries: https://www.york.ac.uk/library/visit/language/ - we try not to use too much jargon, but we don't always succeed...
