Learning Bytes: Apr / May 2021

Join your TP Librarians on a lifelong journey of learning and discovery.

 

Join events in Power Up! to get a headstart in your studies and work! The free talks on databases and soft skills are open to full-time and part-time students as well as staff.

Pre-registration is required, so try to secure your seat early! Staff who are Care Persons can encourage students to sign up and use the talks to kickstart meaningful discussions. 


Ranging from AA Files to Monocle to Zoom on Fashion Trends, the library's magazine collection has something for everybody. Check it out at level 6 or browse the titles online!

The library's subscription to EBSCOhost Academic Search Premier has even more magazines and journals (list of titles).

Our opening hours are as indicated above, while our digital resources are available 24/7 both on-campus and off-campus.
[Edited to add: Due to Covid-19, the library's opening hours will change from time to time. Please check the timing listed under "Opening hours" on the library homepage for the latest information].

Did you know that Singapore is currently ranked second in the world in the Ease of Doing Business World Ranking, just behind Switzerland? You can find this info in Passport, as well as consumer, economic and industrial statistics. Other reports and statistics e-resources include Statista, WARC and WGSN.


Who's Who in Engineering Singapore features some 250 engineers and their contributions to the country's growth and progress. Included in the book are three TP engineering staff as well! They are: Mr Cheah Swee Hock, Deputy Director / Academic & Continuing Education; Dr Han Ming, Principal Scientist / Clean Energy Research Centre; and Dr Sun Ling Ling, Head / Healthcare Engineering Center.

With such rapid changes nowadays, we may be at risk of being left behind. Check out the Staying Relevant LibGuidea collaboration between the polytechnic librariesto find out how you can keep up to speed!
