Library 101
Make the most out the Library by learning about the research tools and resources you will need on your academic journey! We offer programming on topics like search techniques, specialized software, and fake news — you can pick and choose the workshops that work for you.
You will receive an email prior to your chosen workshops with connection details and other necessary information. You must attend at least five workshops by the end of March 2021 to complete the program and earn a certificate signed by the Chief Librarian; your instructor will take attendance at the end of each session to track your participation.
Please note that Library 101 workshops require at least five participants to proceed. If you cannot attend a workshop, please let us know; we encourage you to ask questions via our Reference Help services or by reaching out to your liaison librarian.
For questions related to registration and your progress in the program, please contact Donna Liu.
We look forward to seeing you in this year’s workshops!
