March 17-21, everyday 12:00-1:00 and 5:00-6:00
Why not use Spring Break to “clean up” your research and
organizational skills?
The NYU Bobst Library is holding a series of workshops and
clinics especially for graduate students. These sessions focus on core skills
like:
- Finding
citations and expanding your research
- Organizing
your research using an easy personal database called RefWorks
- Finding
and ordering research materials from other institutions
- …And
much more
Some of the sessions are one-hour sessions on a single
topic, while others are designed to give you a chance to get help with whatever
questions you might have. All sessions are led by expert librarians, and take
place in the Bobst Library computer labs on Lower Level 1.
So you can’t go somewhere fun in the sun for Spring Break;
you can still make the rest of your semester a little less stressful and a
little easier.
