Webinars teach successful research skills and practices
The University of Chicago Library and the College Center for Research and Fellowships are co-hosting several webinars in Winter Quarter to help undergraduates strengthen their research skills.
Doing Good Research Remotely
Are you eager to continue to pursue your research activities successfully in this new remote environment? Are you writing a BA/BS or master's thesis and need further guidance on how to access vital resources virtually? Do you want to make sure that you maintain a productive relationship with your research mentor? If, so, then please join us for this session in which we'll discuss successful strategies for remote research and introduce you to the variety of ways you can continue to engage with scholarly materials remotely.
Led by Tracy Nyerges, CCRF, and Rebecca Starkey, Head of Research and Instruction Services, University of Chicago Library
Tools and Strategies for Successful Research Proposals
The series aims to build your information literacy and research skills. You will learn how to search, identify, evaluate and effectively read scholarly sources. You will further learn how to develop a literature review and write a persuasive research proposal, which can be used for your thesis, UChicago and external grants, national fellowships and graduate school applications. The sessions build upon each other, but they are also stand-alone and students in all disciplines are welcome to attend any of the three sessions that are especially relevant to their research endeavors.
