Library Event

Join Meriam Library in the Research Commons for the first of our Children's Literature Author Series! We'll be hosting a watch party for a zoom presentation from Traci Sorrell, who will share a reading of their book, We Are Still Here: Native American Truths Everyone Should Know. This will be followed by a question & answer session with the author. 

Meriam Librarians have teamed up with the Student Learning Center to offer librarian-led workshops to help you improve your research skills.

Okay! You already know OneSearch, in this librarian led workshop you will learn some cool tips and tricks for doing research in the subject specific databases.

Zotero is a free (up to 300 MB of storage), easy-to-use tool to help you collect, organize, annotate, cite, and share research. Save PDFs, attach notes and images to your citations, and organize citations into collections for different projects. Zotero connects with your web browser to download sources. Learn the basics in this quick 30-minute workshop. Perfect for use in your final research project.

This hands-on workshop will help you find a variety of media (icons, imagery, infographics, social media, etc.) for use in your presentations and research projects, and help you learn how to cite these kinds of materials appropriately. We’ll also talk about how to put visual information in context so as not to be misleading to readers.
