Join us at our March workshops for Arts undergraduates!<\/em><\/p><\/div>\n

It\u2019s March, and paper season has officially arrived, so here\u2019s a piece of advice for Arts students. Don\u2019t be that guy<\/i>.<\/p>\n

You know the one I mean: the one awake at 3:00 AM the night before the paper\u2019s due, stuck on page 4 and out of ideas, taking frequent breaks to scroll through a Facebook feed that never refreshes\u00a0because everyone else has already gone to bed.<\/p>\n

Poor guy. He probably could have avoided the late night if he\u2019d just been more on top of his research. If he\u2019d chosen a manageable topic and developed a smart search strategy. If he\u2019d used the library website to identify relevant, current scholarly sources in his subject area. If he\u2019d learned about the citation management software for creating a bibliography.<\/p>\n

Luckily, McGill\u2019s Humanities and Social Sciences Library can help you avoid becoming that guy<\/i>. The two-module MyArts Research: Library Skills for Success<\/a> workshops, being offered March 11 and 12, will help you develop your research skills and show you the many library resources and tools you can use to do your research more effectively.<\/p>\n

In Module 1: How to Search<\/a>, you\u2019ll learn how to choose and shape a research topic, how to develop a search strategy and find the best sources in a variety of formats, and learn some of the features of the Library website and catalogue. In Module 2: How to Manage it All<\/a>, you\u2019ll explore subject-specific databases and get a crash course in using EndNote citation management software.<\/p>\n

\"USB<\/a>

Yes, it’s a McGill Library bracelet. But it’s also a USB key!\u00a0<\/em><\/p><\/div>\n

Plus, an added bonus: students who attend both workshop modules will receive the world\u2019s greatest fashion accessory, a 2GB McGill Library USB key that also happens to be a bracelet.<\/p>\n

Register now<\/a> for one or both modules \u2013 and never be that guy<\/i> again!<\/p>\n
