Training Times set!

I have set up the following training times for the month of October.  They will occur before our statistical periods.   

Thursday 10/7  from  3-4 In Zuhl’s classroom

Friday 10/8  from 2-3 In Zuhl’s classroom

Monday 10/11 from 9-10 in Branson’s classroom

We”ll go over statistics and other topics.  Let me know what you would like more training in.

Some thoughts:

• Finding articles from citations
• Finding articles using One Search and Google Scholar
• Sorting journal articles from scholarly to popular
• How to use Academic Search Premier to it’s fullest.
• And….anything that you would like explained for your own research needs!

Let me know what you would like to discuss and let me or your supervisor know when you can attend.

Training Times

Wow!  Two posts in one day!

We are currently scheduling times for reference training.   For those who have never been through it, we will talk about answering more difficult questions, search techniques and training on the statistical periods.

Monday mornings, Thursdays and Friday afternoons are good for me.  What works for you?

Where are the handouts?

Branson is undergoing a lot of big changes.  It resembles Zuhl library’s first floor with group study space and private computer carrels.  Both libraries seem extra busy right now.

We used to have a spinner of handouts by the classroom.  We still have a spinner in the Branson classroom, but it’s not handy for you to access.

Here’s a url for our guide that contains handouts.

Please take a look at this guide and refresh your memory on things like “How to find an article from a citation” tutorial and “Types of Periodicals” handout.  It’s good for all of us to remember these things.   Feel free to print any of these out for patrons.

Have a great weekend!
