Jumpstart Your Research at the IUB Libraries

Next week, the IUB Libraries Reference Services Department will be offering several workshops to help you develop and hone your research skills.  Sessions include:

Explore the best methods for finding your field’s important literature and examine the benefits and drawbacks of using certain search tools, such as Google Scholar.

Explore the essential library resources for historical and literary research on 18th and 19th century topics, including new digital resources that give researchers enhanced access to books, journals, newspapers, and other primary source materials.

Citation indexes make it possible to trace patterns of influence among scholars and scientists.   Learn how to set up citation alerts and use search analysis tools to enhance your research in all fields.

Explore the basics of copyright law for authors and learn how to protect and manage your rights.
