They can utilize all the services provided by the library along their study journey in UMP. In addition, participants were given hands on basic citing & referencing (APA styles & Mendeley). They have learned basic format to reference sources, to find the necessary information for a citation and how to use Mendeley as reference manager. This class ends with a Q & A session.
