Structuring an Introduction and Library Induction
18:37
How to write an introduction
1- the Abstract, is written from the perspective of looking back. Written in past tense.
e.g. "In this investigation I did"
2- Your choice of report
3- Subject Matter and questions you're investigating.
"why is it important?"
"What gap is there?"
4- Research methods
(both primary and secondary)
5- what will be discussed in the chapters?
(Do this chronologically)
6- Analysis and Findings
e.g what is it you hope to find?
7- Conclusion
Library Introduction
Statista- Can search for something and get lots of easy info on that subject. (e.g. Canon) can also get infographics
Bob TV- Can teach for the word photography and it will come up every time someone has mentioned it, make sure to check the box 'Include manuscripts'.
E-Journals- Art Full Text and Art Design and Architecture, click 'Full Text'
I found this session really helpful, at first I was really overwhelmed about the idea of writing such a long essay but I think having sessions like this throughout the term to help support our writing.
The new library website is a lot easier to navigate and to find more resources. The e-journals are really helpful to build up my bibliography with a wider range of sources, magazine articles for example, with an existing citation too.
