Editor's Notes
- Meetings with module coordinator: Understanding the Decolonising the Curriculum platform & the syllabus project; discussion about background and prior knowledge of students. Online research on decolonial resources: Web searches; database searches [particularly Web of Science and the Emerging Sources , digital image searches, checking the Directory of open Access Journals & Repositories.] Info skills training: Search strategies, key subscription databases with good access to research from the Global South [Web of Science, etc.]; DOAR and DOAJ; awareness of the consequences of applying restrictive search filters such as language. One-to-one research consultations: Opportunity to focus on specific needs of each student & their research projects. Project de-brief with the class: What did they find useful? How could the library improve support for this type of project?
