Sign Up for Information Management Workshop

Workshop: Student Research in the Age of Google

Information management is an important component of critical thinking. In this workshop, we will discuss some of the common difficulties that students encounter in conducting library research in the age of Google. Working together, we will consider various techniques for creating assignments that challenge students to use their critical thinking skills to develop the best information management strategies. Additional topics will include how to encourage students:

To use library resources – both print and digital
To evaluate their sources
To be aware of the Libraries’ citation resources

The workshop, led by faculty from the University Libraries, will be held on Tuesday, January 22 from 10:30-1. Lunch will be included. Attendance is limited to 30 people. Please RSVP to Debbie Dunn at ddunn@binghamton.edu.
