It includes a wealth of content, including items from the library catalog, numerous journal publishers, ebooks, and much more. This enormous database can be a great resource for student research assignments or your personal research because it contains so much material, but can also prove difficult when too many results are returned. This session will discuss what is and is not contained in the Summon database and how to leverage that content for background research for brief papers to in-depth literature reviews for research proposals.</p> Sun, 22 Feb 2015 04:00:00 -0500 http://www.lib.vt.edu/libnews/2015/2015-03-04ns.html Faculty announcements Graduate student announcements Announcements Upcoming learning opportunities NLI workshop: Data management plan (NSF-focused) offered on Tue Mar 4 http://www.lib.vt.edu/libnews/2015/2015-03-04n.html <p>Tuesday, March 4, 2015<br /> 2:00pm - 3:00pm<br /> 3080 Torgersen<br /> Led by Andi Ogier and Natsuko Nicholls<br /> <a href="https://app.nli.tlos.vt.edu/registration/nli_enroll/1369/">Register online</a></p> <p>Overview and basics of data management planning for grant applications.</p> Sun, 22 Feb 2015 04:00:00 -0500 http://www.lib.vt.edu/libnews/2015/2015-03-04n.html Faculty announcements Graduate student announcements Announcements Upcoming learning opportunities NLI workshop: How to create a data management plan offered Wed Mar 4 http://www.lib.vt.edu/libnews/2015/2015-03-04nd.html <p>Wednesday, March 4, 2015<br /> 2:00pm - 3:00pm<br /> 3080 Torgersen<br /> Led by Andi Ogier and Natsuko Nicholls<br /> <a href="https://app.nli.tlos.vt.edu/registration/nli_enroll/1732/">Register online</a></p> <p>With many funding agencies requiring that data management plans be submitted with research grant proposals, researchers are expected to make their data more accessible to and useable for others.
