New to HKBU Library? Or do you feel like you need to brush up your research skills? Our Library Survival Skills Series is for you!
These introductory workshops will equip you with important information skills. They are intended for students that have not had a lot of experience with academic research at university. The world of scholarly information can be intimidating, so why not let your librarians introduce you to the basics?
Due to a limited number of seats per workshop, you are encouraged to register early to secure your places. Seats will be allotted on a first-come-first-served basis.
Registration opens at 6 p.m. Thursday, August 24.
Search like a Pro! Learn how to use ProQuest and EBSCOhost to find literature effectively
ProQuest and EBSCOhost are two major databases you will likely come across when searching for literature.
This workshop will introduce and demonstrate useful search techniques (such as wildcards and truncations) and
features (such as subject headings and filters) in the two databases to help you find information quickly.
After the workshop, you will be able to navigate the databases to search for literature effectively!
