Finding journal articles and books can be a confusing process. In this session, we’ll help you find your way through the research databases and journals available at Dalhousie Libraries. Topics include: choosing and refining your topic, choosing which library database is right for your research paper, understanding why “peer-reviewed” articles are so important and getting articles delivered right to your desktop (or laptop). This session will help you find your path to research success and become
efficient library researcher.

Managing & organizing your literature (RefWorks)

Do you need a system for managing and organizing your literature? This session will teach you how to use RefWorks, an online tool designed to help you easily gather, manage, store and share all types of information, as well as generate citations and bibliographies. Never lose a page or source name again.
