Lamont Library
Harvard ID required,
Workshop,
Registration has closed.
Your first semester is all about cracking codes, including those related to the research projects you’ll be assigned.
- What does your professor mean by “primary” and “secondary” sources, for example, and why is she requiring them?
- What are the features of “scholarly” books?
- Why do we care so much about “authority” here?
- Does “data” mean numbers? Something else? Something more?
- What’s common (and different) about research articles that are written in the sciences, social sciences, and humanities?
This interactive 1-hour workshop will help you decode the kinds of knowledge “genres” you’ll be encountering again and again as a student here.
Sue Gilroy, Lamont Research Librarian, will be leading the workshop. Join us in Lamont B30.
Registration required. Limited to 20 students.
