New Workshop “Don’t Miss Out!”

Nearly 30% of undergraduates place out of Communication A courses at UW-Madison. These courses emphasize college writing, and include a two-part information literacy module that provides a foundation for conducting college-level research. The module, an online tutorial followed by one class session with a librarian, emphasizes critical thinking when selecting sources for a research need, an introduction to scholarly communication, as well as skills and strategies for searching effectively and efficiently. If you tested out of Comm A, then don’t miss out on this research skills module that many of your peers have already received!

Register now for the two-part workshop (an online tutorial you complete on your own, followed by an in-person session at College Library). You’ll receive a solid foundation in college-level research and an introduction to the variety of information sources you’ll encounter in college and beyond, including the scholarly articles that many of your professors require for assignments.

How it works:

1) Complete our online tutorial before attending one of the in-library workshops listed below. Information about accessing/enrolling in the tutorial will be sent to you after you register (see #2).

2) To ensure classroom space is available, you must register for one of the workshop options below. Please email Eliot Finkelstein to register.
