It has been
great to see the broad range of articles that have been coming in for the next
issue of Pulse magazine, but we need more!
We would
love to see well written articles on any subject whatsoever. It really couldn’t be easier – just tell us
something you know about, something you do, something you love. If you’re
doing an interesting project at school, write an article about it. If you have a cool hobby, tell us about
it. If you have a favourite celebrity,
tell us why you think they’re great.
There are
no rules! No, actually, wait, that's a lie, because there is one - just one - and this is it:
THE ARTICLE
MUST BE ALL YOUR OWN WORK!
It worries
and saddens us here in the library to see the number of articles we are
receiving that are copied straight from the internet. This is not smart, and it is also pretty
obvious when you do it. The internet is
great, we all love it and we all accept that it has revolutionised our ability
to access information. But we need to
make sure we are using it as a tool to inform ourselves, to learn about our
world and to open our minds to new discoveries.
If we start seeing it as a quick fix, as a way to be lazy or as a
substitute to our own creativity, we are heading down a bad road.
We in the
library think Swans students are great.
They are FULL of ideas and energy and curiosity – we see that in many
different ways every single day. So show
us your originality, your individuality – give us the truly unique take on the
world we know you have.

completely original submission for the next issue of Pulse magazine to
