This document provides library skills training for a CHE1004W design project. It outlines resources for reference materials, books, and journal articles. It describes finding books in the library catalog and on shelves, and searching databases for electronic journal articles. Boolean search techniques are demonstrated for effectively searching databases. Hands-on exercises are provided to have students practice locating books and searching databases on topics related to extractive metallurgy.
