During our visit to Royal Holloway, a staff member first introduced us to the Boolean research method, which has been extremely useful for finding sources online, making our research more efficient and accurate. We were then given access to their library, which contains a wide range of resources, all free of charge. These resources are extremely hard to find, so having access to them has significantly improved the credibility of my project. We were able to download various studies from different universities, such as the University of Barcelona, which has given me a more global perspective on the topic by incorporating diverse methodologies and viewpoints. This has also enhanced the credibility of my research, making it more well-rounded and reliable. As a result, I now feel much more confident when writing my essays and with my understanding of the topic. Anika Vasudeva [12G]

We had the opportunity to visit Royal Holloway University as a part of our research guidance. We had a talk with the university librarian about the best ways we can conduct our research and build our searches effectively using e-resources, such as their digital library, in order for us to obtain top relevant research for our reports. They shared some really useful techniques, such as the use of Boolean operators in order to get specific results when researching. I found it all really insightful, and I now feel more confident about successfully finding the best resources - using their tips, and evaluating them throughout my EPQ report. Ilhan Abdullahi [12E]
