Some ideas

Make sure the Library has reference copies of your textbooks

Ask students to make resource lists (bibliographies) for all homework/coursework – and mark them!

Borrow a book or artefact collection from LSE

Ask me to build a Research Guide for you to use in the Library, classroom or ICT room!
