Are you about to embark on a dissertation, thesis, or piece of extended research? Before you can contribute to the academic dialogue, you need to have a sound grasp of your topic and its context. This session will give you strategies for finding and evaluating published literature so you can get a 'big picture' view of your topic.

This session is designed to help you find the books and journal articles you need quickly and easily, using library catalogues and the University's wide range of electronic resources.

Over the course of your PhD research you will find and generate huge volumes of information, and staying on top of it all can be problematic. This workshop is designed to help you think about how you work, and to find tools and practical strategies that will work for you in storing, retrieving, managing and using information.

All workshops will be in Training Room 2 at Greenwich House and run 9:30am -4:30pm. The e-exam will take place in training room 1 at Greenwich House.

The workshops will be run by Jeremy Johnson with input from members of staff from the University's Central Purchasing Office.

~ Exhibition: Wed 18th March: The University's annual purchasing exhibition

~ Workshop 2: Wed 1st April: Systems and Procedures in Purchasing

~ Workshop 3: Wed 15th April: Working with Suppliers

~ Workshop 5: Wed 20th May: Revision morning and E-exam.

Have you ever run a report or a screen enquiry in CUFS and thought it would be exactly what you needed if only ...

it was presented in a slightly different format; it didn't spread out over as many pages; or if it combined with data from elsewhere? Or are you currently re-keying data from CUFS into your own spreadsheets because you don't feel that CUFS can meet your needs?

This programme of three short courses will give you some tips that might make your life easier when trying to extract data from CUFS, working with it in Excel and presenting it as meaningful financial information.

The splitting of the programme into three, two-hour sessions provides an opportunity for users to practice and consolidate their learning in between the events. Whereas Part 3 can be attended at any time, it is recommended that users attend Part 1 before Part 2, as we will be building upon the knowledge of the former in the second stage. However, users may if they prefer to wait a month or so before attending the second session.
