Rigging the ropesRigging the ropes<span><h2>​​​Tuesday, 17 May<br></h2> <span> <hr /> <h3> <span class="ms-rteForeColor-1"><strong>Enhance your search strategies: Google and Google Scholar</strong></span></h3><strong>Presenter</strong>: Pepler Head, Faculty Librarian: Economic and Management Sciences</span><span><p><strong>Time</strong>: 09:30-10:30​<br></p>Most researchers spent a lot of their time searching for academic information on the open web such as Google Scholar and Google. However, most often realise that this process takes a long time as academic information competes with commercial interests and information on the web. For an academic who does not always have the time to go through long lists of irrelevant results before getting what they wanted, the importance of conducting effective searches cannot be overemphasised. This session will guide researchers on how to conducting effective searches on the web.​​<h3><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jRkMl2UY5sQ&list=PLs3HMhV6mbuEEu74wuPSm2aNfZYmK8r5P&index=2" target="_blank"><img src="/SiteCollectionImages/general/Watch%20online.png" alt="Watch online" style="margin:5px;width:115px;" /></a> <br><span class="ms-rteForeColor-1">​</span><br class="ms-rteForeColor-1"></h3></span></span><h3><span class="ms-rteForeColor-1"><strong>Do’s and Don’ts of proposal writing​​​</strong></span></h3><p><strong>Presenter: </strong>Selene Delport, Coordinator: Workshops and Short Courses, Language Centre<br><strong>Time</strong><strong>:​ </strong>11:00-12:00<br></p><span><span> <p>Writing a good proposal starts with good planning.
