Ever find yourself spending hours searching for articles only to get frustrated in the process? Never fear, the Dalhousie Libraries have organized a series of workshops on how to be an effective and efficient library researcher.

Library research can be challenging, just sifting through the abundant amount of resources to get to the information you need can be overwhelming. These sessions will give you the skills to make the most of your limited research time:
