Welcome to Library Lab: Choosing Tools for Curiosity!

In this workshop we will think hard and playfully about where and how to get information for different research contexts using a variety of tools.

We will explore questions such as:

  • How do I choose research tools for relevance and exploration?
  • How are information systems constructed and organized?
  • What should I keep in mind as I assess databases?
  • When should I browse and when show I search, and how can I use specific search tool features for both of these states of mind?
  • How do I evaluate materials based on individual and disciplinary needs?
