Resource Research Workshops

Throughout the spring semester, the Wells Library is offering a series of workshops designed to help faculty and graduate students learn new skills, discover available services, and find the best resources to aid in their research.   Upcoming workshops include:

Teaching & Technology: Using Online Tools to Teach Library Research Skills
This session will provide ideas on how you can use technology to introduce students to the library and increase their awareness of the resources available. It will also cover how you can use online tools to strengthen students’ research skills, teach students to critically evaluate web sites and other resources, and help students develop a better understanding of the research process.


Have I Been Cited?: Citation Indexes on the Web
The Web of Science includes the Arts and Humanities Citation Index, Social Sciences Citation Index, and Science Citation Index (back as far as 1955). In addition to indexing articles, the Citation Indexes index footnotes, making 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.

Researching Beyond Borders: Doing International and Multilingual Research at the IUB Libraries
The IUB Libraries collect books, films, journals, magazines, data, and music in over 200 languages and from all around the world.  This class will teach you how to research the entire world using the IUB Libraries databases and collections.
