Interested in exploring strategies for finding humanities scholarship using University Libraries' resources? In this workshop we will consider a variety of avenues and pathways to locating scholarship in the humanities. We will discuss search strategies for locating materials in the Libraries' catalog as well as dive into some relevant databases.
Janel Simons, University Libraries Assistant Professor of Practice and Humanities Librarian
Intended audience:
The target audience for this series is graduate students in the humanities who are starting out in advanced research or who want to level up their research skills at any time in their graduate program. Examples, tools, and points of reference will speak to research in the humanities and focus on research at the graduate level and beyond. While we want participants to be aware of this target audience to help set expectations, all UNL students, faculty, and staff are welcome.
About the series:
The UNL Libraries is excited to launch the workshop series, Building Research Confidence in the Humanities. Covering topics ranging from finding and organizing primary materials, locating and managing scholarly sources, and analyzing resources, to making decisions about presentation and publication, this nine-session series will introduce humanities researchers to a range of tools, resources, and techniques for growing their research practice.
