When starting a research project or deciding on a research idea, you want to have a sense of the conversation you're joining. This workshop will help you feel confident in reviewing and reading scholarly articles and give you a series of questions you can ask as you enter the scholarly conversation on your topic. This workshop is meant for students who have just begun an undergraduate research experience or students who are interested in starting an experience and want to make sure they have the tools and mindsets they need to succeed.  

The workshop will be lead by Hailley Fargo, the Student Engagement Coordinator at Penn State University - University Park campus. This role is a liaison with non-academic units, collaborating with colleagues to create an aligned approach to student engagement, and exploring ways to enhance library student employment. Hailley's research interests incude student engagement journeys, peer-to-peer services in academic libraries, information literacy, and undergraduate research. Hailley is a co-founder of The Librarian Parlor (libparlor.com), a blog dedicated to building community around LIS research.

Registration is required.
