Report Creation Guide

It is reprinted from Report Creation Guide - Let's use the library - 2016.

Reports and theses are required to submit in the university. There are numerous types of reports and theses, varying in quality and length, but they all share specific formats respectively, and should be written logically from one's own point of view, yet easy for the reader to understand. Report creation skills learned during one's time at university can also be utilized later in life, such as creating entry sheets for employment activities, or creating business planning sheets while working in the society.
This "Report Creation Guide" introduces the basic philosophy and creation process from the perspective of library users. We hope this guide proves to be useful in helping all of you with your assignments.
