We need your feedback- and will give you copier credit and coffee for it!!!

UCD Library's Advanced Information Skills Group (AISG) is
organising a focus group to gather feedback from PhD students
who took part in our information skills sessions during the

Graduate Schools' Core Research Modules.

The focus group will be held in room 130 in the James Joyce
Library on Thursday 10th May from 14.30 - 15.30
Your feedback will help us to evaluate the effectiveness of our
sessions and to plan for next year.


All participants will receive €10 in photocopier credit as a
