This activity based session will review and build on the Starting your Research tutorial series. In this session you will learn how to use the Library website, find access to information and additional support if you need it. This is a general session, perfect for learning how to navigate library resources to conduct searches, get help, and use the tools available to you. This is aimed at individuals new to UC Merced or those that haven't had a lot of previous library experience. It's also a great way to work together with your colleagues and ask library staff any questions that you may have.
Location: This session will meet by the Library desk on the first floor of the Library building.
By the end of this session you will be able to:
- Navigate the library website.
- use UC Library Search.
- use ILL (interlibrary loan) to request an article or book that we do not have readily available.
- identify relevant databases in your field and do a search.
- know how to contact the library and librarians for research help and find library resources from the UC Merced Library website.
These sessions are reserved for students participating in the SURI program.
