Auburn Libraries offering Savvy Researcher Boot Camp

Auburn Libraries will hold its summer edition of the Savvy Researcher Boot Camp on Saturday, May 22, from 9 a.m. to 4:15 p.m. The day-long event is designed for graduate students who want to take their research skills to a higher level. Whether students are interested in learning how to find scholarly sources, write a literature review, manage citations or develop an elevator speech about their research, the Savvy Researcher workshops will help them become better and more effective researchers.

The Savvy Researcher Boot Camp will take place online via Zoom. A special lunch hour presentation will feature Alberto Cairo, knight chair in visual journalism at the School of Communication, University of Miami, and author of “How Charts Lie: Getting Smarter About Visual Information."
