New Researcher@Library workshops for all Graduate Researchers!

PSA: The Researcher@Library training page had just had a makeover and now include sessions tailored for each stage of your candidature!

Graduate researchers should regularly check the Researcher@Library Training website for workshops and training relevant to different stages of your candidature. The Library is offering a suite of new and updated face-to-face and online workshops tailored to the research life-cycle: early (pre-confirmation), mid- and late-stage (close to thesis submission). These groupings are intended as a guide only – students are able to register for relevant sessions on a needs-basis at any stage of their candidature.  

New students are encouraged to attend the Getting started with library research orientation session held once a month in the Baillieu Library, and as an online webinar 3 times a year. Regular webinars on Reference Management are also held, supporting Endnote, Zotero and Mendeley users. 

Upcoming sessions after the Easter Break include a new workshop: Working with Images, designed for anyone who might be using images (graphs, illustrations, photos and other non-textual material) in their research, conference papers, presentations or publications. The sessions teaches you how to search for, save and credit copyright-compliant images as well as raising awareness of how to protect your own creative copyright. Related sessions include Digital Imaging 101, 102 and 103, snappy 30 minute technical overviews on how to format images for your publications and thesis without tears!  

Mid- to later-stage graduate researchers will learn about the latest digital tools to help you optimize your publications strategy by finding relevant journals in your field; introduce you to issues around Copyright and your thesis and how to submit your work into the University’s Open Access Repository.

Head over our revamped website and register your spots for the upcoming sessions in April and May!

Happy Easter to everyone celebrating!
