Join us at our upcoming hybrid event. Registration opens now: https://nus.edu.sg/nuslibraries/whats-on-listing/events/they-all-drank---understanding-singaporean-history-through-resources-tales-and-texts.
The availability of drinking water was one of the key factors in establishing British imperial rule in Singapore in 1819. The early tales, records and accounts of this important element intersect with studies of the environment, modernisation, engineering, economics and immigration on an island in Southeast Asia. Through a discussion of these numerous intersections, our guest speaker A/Prof Timothy P. Barnard (NUS Department of History) will discuss how water can influence our perspectives and approaches to Singaporean history.

How does a library deploy new technologies to help in research?
Gaetan Boisson, our Digital Scholarship Librarian, was at the 2023 IFLA (International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions) satellite event to speak on “Revealing the Bukit Brown cemetery underground artefacts”. In his presentation, he shared the library’s work on harnessing digital technology to storytell Bukit Brown’s preserved artefacts in a rich and engaging way!
“Very innovative and forward-thinking! We have a lot to learn from this work,” said Professor Cecilia Salvatore (Dominican University, Chicago).
Held at the beautiful KU Leuven Library, which was originally founded in 1636, this year’s event sought to highlight the various innovative ways in which people can engage with local history and genealogy materials.
Thank you IFLA for the opportunity to share our work, and to learn from the work of other librarians!

The possible demise of our most popular Digital Scholarship project, Historical Maps of Singapore, led us down a rabbit hole of geospatial raster data, where images aren't what they seem. Find out how the team raced against time to save it! tinyurl.com/544hdm3a

5 years ago, we organised our first Researcher Unbound Symposium. That was our first attempt at bringing together the NUS community in a 2-day learning marathon and it was a blast!
We're bringing it back this October! Over a series of lightning talks and panel discussions, you get to learn and network with 16 speakers across multiple disciplines. It'll be held at the new Medicine+Science Library and seats are limited. So hurry, grab them now: https://nus.edu.sg/nuslibraries/researcher-unbound/researcher-unbound-symposium-2023/about.

Unsure of how to get started for your group project? 😓
Oftentimes, we build on existing ideas or theories in our academic writing.
Did you know that most cases of plagiarism at the undergraduate level are accidents where the student just forgot that they had paraphrased another source? Don’t sabotage yourself! If you are writing from sources:
1️⃣ Create an outline listing the sources you plan to use in your writing
2️⃣ As you quote, paraphrase, or summarise other sources, cite as you go!
3️⃣ Paraphrase other texts using not only different vocabulary, but different grammar as well
Better still, book a consultation with the NUS Writing & Communication Hub. Our peer tutors will help you tackle those writing scaries together. Check us out at https://nus.edu.sg/nuslibraries/services-help/writing-communication-hub/about. 👍🏼
