COMMON
INFORMATION EVERYBODY SHOULD KNOW ON “ASK
A LIBRARIAN” |
The
Ask A Librarian Service is designed primarily
for MUST students and faculty members
ONLY |
|
|
We
can only handle questions to which
a documented factual answer exists |
| |
Hypothetical
questions and requests to undertake
original research are beyond the
scope of Ask a Librarian |
| |
We
won't analyse an issue, guess an
answer or give opinions. We deal
only in documented matters of fact |
|
Knowing
the context of your enquiry can help us
find the right answer for you. One of
the difficulties of answering enquiries
by email is that we can't interview you
face to face to make sure that we understand
exactly what you want. You can help by
explaining the context of your question,
telling us in general terms why you are
asking it and letting us know where you
have already looked for the answer. Please
add to your question any further information
which you think may be useful to us |
We'll
try to help if you get really stuck but
please don't send us all questions and
expect answers. Remember that some quiz
questions reverse the way the information
is recorded in dictionaries and encyclopaedias,
making it impossible to look up an answer |
Please
don't expect us to write them for you.
We can help by pointing you to information
sources on your topic but it's up to you
to do the work of interpreting them and
answering the question your teacher has
set you |
Exhaustive
literature searches are beyond the scope
of Ask a Librarian. If your research project
requires such a search, you should look
to the resources available in the library |
| . |
How
do I get involved? |
Simply
send your email to reference@must.edu.my
inclusive of your personal details
such as name, handphone no., faculty
and your question |
