NTU Library will be organizing the College of Science Lunch Hour Training in September 2009. This series of training is aimed at helping students familiarize themselves with the library’s access tools and resources. Through the training, students will be equipped with the skills to conduct research for term papers or final year project.

The one hour lunch training provides students with greater flexibility in organizing their schedule. By focusing on one tool or resource at a time, students only need to attend the sessions that they are interested in.

The format of lunch training series includes presentation by instructor followed by hands-on exercise on the topic covered.

Please note that finger food & snacks will be provided.
