Upcoming Workshops for Faculty and Graduate Students

This Fall, the Wells Library is offering a series of workshops designed to help faculty and graduate students learn new skills and find the best resources to aid their research. Upcoming workshops focused on introducing fundamental library tools and services include:


Library Resources on the Web: What’s New? What Should I Use?

Learn about the library services you may not know existed, find out more about tools to focus your research in a specific discipline, and get some tips for making your research more effective and efficient.

IUCAT: Tips and Tricks to Get the Most from Your Catalog Searching

Learn about advanced search techniques that improve search retrieval accuracy, using subject headings, searching for materials in different formats, limiting large search result sets, and creating book lists and permanent links to materials you use often.

Teaching the Research Process: Timing, Outcomes, and Results

Calling all graduate student instructors! This workshop will provide strategies for teaching research skills, including the knowledge to find and evaluate information. You’ll leave with an understanding of how to design a library-related or research-based assignment, ways to use the libraries’ resources to support your students’ learning, and strategies for assessing student’s research skills.

This session will introduce you to Google products, including Google Scholar (a popular search engine for scholarly, academic content) and Google Book Search (a collection of digitized books).
