Library Research Series SPRING 2006
The UWM Libraries Research and Instructional Support Department offers a series of workshops that focus on how to do research in an academic library using both print and electronic resources. Each session focuses on a specific aspect of library research. “Hands-on” time is available for those who desire additional instruction.
Workshops are free and open to students, faculty, staff, and community users. Attend all sessions in sequence for comprehensive training, or only those sessions that are of interest.
