In this age of information overload, it can be hard to know where to find good information that you can trust. If you\u2019re doing research for an important project, report, or proposal, how do you find information that you can count on?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This one-day workshop will teach you how to research any topic using a number of different tools. We will start with basic techniques, such as reading, memory recall, note-taking, and planning. We will also talk about creating different kinds of outlines for different stages of your project, and how to move from the outline to actual writing, editing, and polishing. Most importantly, we will talk about how to use all kinds of sources, including a library\u2019s Dewey Decimal System, journals, and the Internet.
