• Scott Library Research Workshops (for Humanities and Social Sciences based disciplines)
  Do you feel like finding the right information is a matter of luck? Do you ever wander through the library or click through the web and think there must be a better way? You are sure the information is out there but you just can not seem to get your hands on it? Research can be tough. The good news is that a little preparation can go a long way. Research is a skill that can be learned and it is our goal to teach you how to do it. Spend an hour and a half with us now, and save yourself hours of frustration later. And watch your grades improve in the process!
