It’s hard to believe, but the semester will be coming to an end in just a few short weeks and this is the last week that the library will be offering workshops. Well, for the semester that is! Here’s what we’ve got for you:
Tuesday (4/21) 11am
Citing Sources
Instructor: Scott
Location: Signal Peak Campus Library
Students often have difficulty understanding why and when they need to cite their resources. This workshop will help them understand the importance of citations and how to follow the MLA and APA citation styles.
Wednesday (4/22) 3pm
Formatting Your Research in Microsoft Word
Instructor: Nancy
Location: Signal Peak Campus, Room O109
Using the MLA format style as our example, we’ll work through setting margins, centering titles, adding headers and footers, and formatting a Works Cited page.
Thursday (4/23) 3pm
Research Strategies 101
Instructor: Nancy
Location: Signal Peak Campus Library
In this workshop we’ll explore how to break a student’s thesis statement into search concepts that they can then string together into an advanced research strategy. Students will learn how and when to use “AND” and “OR” to narrow and broaden their searches, how to effectively use wildcard functions, and critically evaluate the information that they find to determine if it effectively addresses their research question.
