Hello and a massive welcome to all our new students, we look forward to meeting you and getting to know you all. Welcome back to all returning students too. We are the Student Engagement team<\/strong> and we are here to provide support with all aspects of academic skills. Although this year may feel a little different please be reassured that we are here to support you<\/strong>! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Induction<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Head over to the Learning and Support Services Induction pages <\/a>to find out more information about who lives in Catalyst, what they do and how they can support you. There’s an interactive induction toolkit<\/a> that you can work through at your own pace, which will introduce you to Library and Learning Services, Student Services and Careers, or you can even watch an induction video<\/a> if you prefer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Uniskills<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The best place to find out more about how we can support you is to head over to the UniSkills web pages<\/a> where there\u2019s a vast wealth of information around academic writing and research skills. Here you\u2019ll find our interactive online UniSkills Toolkits which contain loads of tips and tricks to help you with assignment planning, critical thinking, punctuation, proofreading and much more. There\u2019s also some handy guides and videos too!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We’ve also put on some some ‘Getting Started With Uniskills’<\/strong> sessions especially for new students. They’ll help you log in, explore the Blackboard Institution homepage, show you how to find academic information for your university assignments and give you an overview of the UniSkills support available – all the essentials to ensure you\u2019re ready for the start of your course.  There’ll even be a prize drawer<\/strong> for a \u00a325 Amazon voucher <\/strong>simply for attending the session so book your place now!<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can also check out what Uniskills Webinars<\/a> we have on offer throughout the year or if you require more\nspecific support you can also book a 1-2-1\nvirtual appointment<\/a> with an Academic\nSkills Advisor who can work with you on a piece of work or research.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finding Your Resources<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once you start your tutor will provide with your reading list and I\u2019m sure many of you will be keen to get started! To find your resources the Library Catalogue<\/a> is a great place to start. From here you can access your Reading List online<\/a> and, by clicking on the book titles, you can jump straight through to the catalogue where you will find details on the items location and availability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can collect items directly from the shelves and check them out on the self-issue machines located around the building or you can currently reserve items straight from the shelves using our temporary ‘Click and Collect’ service.<\/a> All you need to do to use this service is place a reservation on the book you want, we’ll grab if from the shelves for you and let you know when it’s ready to collect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As an Edge Hill student you also have access to thousands of high quality academic e-resources which are particularly useful whilst on placement as they can all be accessed off campus. The Subject Resource web pages <\/a>contain all the relevant journals and databases for your course or you can browse the e-resource collections using the Discover More search tool<\/a>. You also find links to newspaper collections and useful websites relevant to your course.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And, if there is ever a book or journal article\nthat we don\u2019t have in our collection you can ask us add a copy by using the You\nWant It, We Get it<\/a> service. Just fill\nin the details on the form and we\u2019ll do our best to get it in for you \u2013 how\ncool is that?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Further Help and Support<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you have any general enquiries about resources for your study, IT related enquiries or academic skills support you can contact the Catalyst Helpdesk<\/a> Monday to Friday between 8am and 8pm and Saturday and Sunday between 10am and 6pm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We wish you all the best for this coming\nacademic year and look forward to supporting you soon!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
