SAGE Research Methods

If your course involves doing more detailed research projects, such as a dissertation, you will need to learn about and follow academic research methods. SAGE Research Methods is an excellent resource. It contains a diverse toolkit of reference sources, textbooks, videos and interactive learning tools to help you understand research methods, get you started and keep you on track throughout your project.

A 'shelfmark' or 'call number' is a number that tells you where a book an be found in the library. Our main lending collection is on Level 2. Each row of shelves has a poster on the end that tells you what shelfmarks can be found there.

You can use the table on this page to see the general areas that main topics in your subject are shelved. Sometimes, casually browsing the shelves can turn up some great resources!

Student Success can help you develop your academic writing and study skills throughout your time at Newman.

The Learning Development and Academic Writing Moodle page contains self-help guides on:

• Writing skills – developing and structuring our work
• Presentation – how to present your academic work
• Reading skills – note-taking and links to our referencing guide
• Study skills - time and stress management techniques

You can also book workshops and one-to-one appointments with writing mentors.

You need to self-enrol on the Moodle page to access these resources.
