U of M students have access to a wide array of high-quality scholarly resources through the University Library, and are taught to use those resources throughout their education. However, when students leave the university, much of that access is cut off, but using quality scholarly resources and engaging in evidence-based practice is often critical in work conducted beyond the University walls. This session will teach alumni and graduates how to continue to find high quality scholarly information despite a lack of access to university resources.
In this workshop participants will:
- Learn the importance of access to scholarly resources.
- Learn how Open Access and alumni resources can help them find high quality scholarly information.
- Learn how effective information seeking differs from general search engine use.
