Graduate Student Research Intensive

Graduate Student Research Intensive

Are you a graduate student planning to start or continue working on your research project over the summer? If so, the University Libraries is here to support you! Join us for a two-day virtual research intensive workshop led by VT librarians and designed with graduate students in mind (but open to all). By the end of the workshop, you’ll have learned more about searching for library resources for literature reviews, using citation managers, writing conference proposals and abstracts, and AI tools that can help your research process. 

This interactive Zoom workshop will build in time for discussion and questions. It will be held over the course of two days, June 3-4, according to the schedule below. While you are not required to attend every session, the sessions are designed to build upon one another, so please try to attend them all if possible. Researchers at all stages of the process are welcome. 

Schedule:

Day 1 (June 3) 

1-2:30 - Library Resources for Literature Reviews: Types of Reviews, Developing Search Statements, and Searching Databases for Your Discipline

2:30-2:45 - Break
