Welcome to the Library Guide for writing and submitting your Thesis at Bond University.
The Library offers a specialised range of services to help Higher Degree Research (HDR) students find, use and manage information more effectively.
Information Research Skills
- Librarians can help you to create an effective search strategy for researching your topic and advise you on the best techniques for searching online databases and other sources.
- The Library has print and online resources. Staff and research students can also request items from other libraries via Library Search.
- You are encouraged to recommend material to add to the Library’s collection to support your research. Discuss this with your Faculty Librarian.
- Library Services can assist with another important aspect of your research: data management. Email queries to researchdata@bond.edu.au and read the Research Data Management guide.
- Learning how to use bibliographic software may save you time by simplifying storage, discovery and citing your references.
- Contact your Faculty librarian about training and support in using EndNote and Refworks.
Copyright information
- Copyright compliance is essential.
- Use this guide, and the HDR Handbook (available in the iLearn HDR Community site) for guidance.
- Attend the HDR Managing Knowledge Library training to learn about copyright management in your thesis.
Students own the copyright in their thesis but must obtain permission to use any third-party copyright material included in the thesis so that the final thesis is copyright compliant upon submission to the Library.
