The session focused on developing students’ skills in conducting effective searches using academic databases. Students were introduced to practical search techniques to help them identify relevant scholarly information efficiently and improve the quality of sources used in their academic work.

The session forms part of the MNU Library’s ongoing information literacy initiatives, supporting students in developing effective research and information-searching skills for their academic studies.

The session supported quality education and lifelong learning by helping students produce credible academic work. These skills also prepare students for ethical professional practice and encourage academic integrity.
