Upcoming Workshops

Stepping Up Your Scholarly Research Skills: Databases & Search Strategies

REGISTER [ZOOM]

In this hands-on workshop, we’ll talk about turning your research question into a search strategy, and we will try out searching a few different databases; we’ll include a look at "citation searching" to identify key articles and to trace the development of ideas.

Facilitated by Drexel University Librarians, Sarah Hughes, MSLIS, MA, and Kathleen Turner, MLIS

Work-Life Balance & Graduate Studies

REGISTER [ZOOM]

Graduate study requires significant time and effort, which can sometimes make it difficult to balance your personal, professional, and academic commitments. Work-life balance, though, is key to academic and professional success. You’ve got this! Join Rebecca Signore, MA, Executive Director, Center for Learning and Academic Success Services (CLASS), and Deirdre McMahon, PhD, Assistant Dean of Online Education, Graduate College, to discuss strategies and resources for setting boundaries, managing your schedule, recharging, and supporting growth.

Organizing Your Research: Citation Management with EndNote or Zotero

REGISTER [ZOOM]

Save research time and effort! Take advantage of library citation management tools to organize and format your project. Drexel University Librarians, Sarah Hughes, MLIS, MA, and Kathleen Turner, MLIS, provide key no-nonsense tips on how to use EndNote or Zotero—your choice, provided by Drexel University—to keep and organize scholarly references and articles and to generate in-text citations and bibliographies in all major styles.

No prior knowledge of EndNote or Zotero is required for this workshop.
