University Libraries offers a range of workshops to help students develop critical skills in finding, evaluating, and using information effectively in an academic setting.
First Year Success Series
The First Year Success Series (FYSS) provides engaging student-centered information literacy instruction taught by University Libraries staff. These sessions are designed to orient students to library resources and services as well as to explain the research process through fun activities, games and demonstrations.
STEP Workshops
University Libraries offers sessions through the Second-year Transformational Experience Program (STEP) Professional Development Co-Curricular series and for individual cohorts. These sessions all align with the STEP learning goals to support second-year students in exploring their academic, personal and professional goals. Offerings include one-time sessions on a wide range of topics and recurring sessions, such as Join the Research Conversation, a collaboration with Undergraduate Research & Creative Inquiry, which supports students in finding potential research mentors at Ohio State.
A+ Research
A+ Research features undergraduates providing research presentations and advice on the research process, drawing upon their experiences of successfully completing research and creative inquiry projects. Survey results show that 86 percent of student who attended rated the session as helpful to them.
