At the start of each academic term, the Library hosts workshops to all incoming students. These workshops focus on topics such as database searching, the use of ebooks, finding journal articles, and navigating the library website. Information on times and dates for these workshops are sent through email, advertised on flyers throughout the campus, and posted via Facebook and the library website. Most workshops are first-come, first-served; but others may require reservations.
Faculty are encouraged to suggest topics for research guides-- whether it pertains the curriculum, is an extension of a class syllabus, or merely is a subject that students or other faculty will be potentially interested in!
Please contact the Reference Librarians to learn more about using Research Guides to your advantage!
