Looking for a new way to conduct your research on the library website (lib.umn.edu)? Tired of getting too many or zero results in your database searches? This workshop will break down how to effectively search for articles, books, and other scholarly works. We’ll cover tracing citations, creating optimal keyword searches, using built-in database functions to improve your searches, and other strategies to make you a more efficient researcher. We will also talk about pros and cons of generative AI tools (e.g. Microsoft Copilot, Chat GPT, etc.) in the process. Open to all disciplines.
