tips on organising assignments
the academic tips on exams
the online ECU library allows the enrolled students to access their accounts so that if the student wants to save any specific resource, for example a book or an article it gets saved to their accounts.
some students find it easier to study for their exams by looking back at the pervious exam, this way the student would have an idea of the type questions that might show up on the exam.
the online library website can be an easier way for students to find the book they're looking for rather than walking throughout the whole library trying to find one book. So the website makes it easier all what is required is to print the name of the book and start browsing.
like other search engines the website also performs the task of any other search engine, where someone can write a key word and browse through out the results.
the website offers tips for students who are not familiar with academic writing. The website gives a step by step procedure on how to write papers such as Logs, Journals, and Essays.
I think one of the most important functions of this website is that an authorised person can book equipments from the library online and save whatever they booked
like those tips on writing essays and other, the online referencing guide is another helpful tip which students can use to help them reference their work better.
most assignments in university is linked with writing reports, the online library website shows how and what required from the student to write a report successfully.

Reading 1:
‘Finding what you want on the web’ by Bill Thompson\
This reading is about the use of different search engines in finding information. The writer talks about the difficulty in search for documents on the web because of the lack or organization.
Reading 2:
‘Bare Bones Lesson 7: Basic Search Tips’
This website is about search tips. The search tips are for search engines. Using Boolean operators and + and – in search, it is easy to find information. This narrows the search to exactly what you want. I found this helpful when searching because it lets me search files directly linked to my subjects. I do not have to waste time searching through sites that offer no information about my topic.
