Introduction to Library Research

The Introduction to Library Research session includes a brief tour of the Library followed by a hands-on introduction to library services & library research. We recommend scheduling this session near the beginning of the semester, however it can be scheduled at any time classes are in session.

Learning Outcomes:

  1. Locate the main service points in the library and on the library website
  2. Identify the main concept(s) of a research question and think of effective search terms
  3. Articulate the pros and cons of using Google and OneSearch
  4. Use OneSearch advanced search (Boolean, filters) to narrow and focus searches
