Are you having trouble finding books to help you tackle report writing, essays or dissertations at Newcastle College Library?
Most libraries in the UK are organised around a system of subject categories and numbers first devised by American scholar Melvil Dewey in 1876.

Though perfectly serviceable, this does have a few "anomalies". Students specializing in computer games, for instance, must go to Class number 004 for computer science, but the games design books are at the other end of the sequence in the 790s!
In particular, we at Newcastle College Library Services reckon that many of the Research and Study books are scattered around the library classification system in far too random a pattern. So, to try and make your searching a little easier, we've decided to group all the books associated with reports, essays, dissertations, literature reviews, Harvard referencing and research techniques together.
The Study Skills Section can be found adjacent to the Enquiry Desk in the Main Library, near the Parsons Building entrance.
And don't forget you can browse the best of our Research Methods and Study Skills books through Pinterest (and reserve them online while you are at it)
