On 18 March 2021, the UMP library was invited by a lecturer from the Center for Mathematical Sciences, Dr. Noratikah Binti Abu to present a briefing on literature search strategies to students who took the subject of Research Methodology (BSD2712). The session was held at 10 a.m. via the Google Meet. A total of 25 participants attended this session. Puan Affida Abu Bakar from the Education & Research Section has conducted the session.

The main objective of the session is to give participants an overview of how to search for resources and how to use the library’s search platform. Before starting the session, participants were shown how to identify search terms or keywords based on the title of their writing or research. This technique can help participants to further expand search results on any platform such as library subscription databases. In addition, systematic search of all types of published literature can help them to identify good quality research relevant to a specific topic.
