Advanced research: refine your topic & searches
Have a literature review due this semester or working on chapter 2 of dissertation? Join librarian Frances Brady for a hands-on session where you’ll work on refining your topic, developing advanced search strategies, finding relevant sources, and increasing your confidence. Bring your laptop and your ideas/interests. No need to have a topic refined yet, but if you have one, that’s great, too!
