Research, Scholarship, & Creative Expression
March 10, 2014

As new academic research initiatives become increasingly interdisciplinary, it is imperative that science and engineering librarians develop and implement new approaches to the dissemination of library research tools and techniques. At Drexel University, several such initiatives have resulted in collaborative research in several interdisciplinary areas such as Human Computer Interaction, Information Security, Biomaterials, Aerospace, and water research, for example. In this workshop, we’ll discuss and explore:

• How to identify relevant information needed.
• How to find this information.
• How to use this information.
• How to apply this information to solve your problem effectively, creatively, and efficiently.

Students need to be aware of how to access information from a variety of resources that cover a broad spectrum of academic disciplines. The presentation highlights key information tools available through the Drexel University Libraries website and demonstrates how these tools can be applied in the quest for innovations.
