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!
