Library Research Workshop

Are you new to the university and not sure where to start when working on assignments? Have you been here a semester already and want to work on improving your grades? Maybe you want to impress your friends with your knowledge of obscure subject headings. If any of these statements apply to you, the library is here to help. We are offering the following workshop on library research next week.

The Library and Research: the Basics.

In this workshop, learn how to get started doing research, where to look for information (books, articles and websites), narrow your topic, use subject headings vs. keywords, evaluate sources as well as how to find course reserves, review your library account and renew books online.
