LIB 003: Searching: DatabasesExport this event to calendar

Thursday, November 5, 2015 — 10:30 PM to 11:30 PM EST

Academic research is challenging because there is no one-size-fits-all solution for searching. In this 50 minute hands-on workshop, you’ll learn about and apply reliable tips and tools to help you find the best articles on your topic. You’ll also learn how to problem solve disappointing database search results.

By the end of the workshop you will be able to:

  • choose an appropriate database for your research topic,
  • create a search strategy appropriate for the database you choose, and
  • identify which resource types are included in specific databases.

Register for this workshop.
