Finding Library Resources to Support Field Work in the Agricultural and Life Sciences
Finding Library Resources to Support Field Work in the Agricultural and Life Sciences
So you need to do literal in-the-field research work. How can your library and your librarian help while on campus and out in the field? What kinds of resources support distributed team science? How do you work with paper and digital data collection methods? How can your librarian support you with ethical considerations in the research life cycle? Learn the answers to these questions and more in this session. By the end of this session, you’ll be able to
-
Identify different stages of the research lifecycle
-
Find relevant databases
-
Evaluate tools for supporting team science
-
Describe at least one ethical consideration for each stage of the research lifecycle
