Join us on Monday, March 10, from 1 p.m. to 1:30 p.m. for a virtual workshop that will help you enhance your Google Scholar skills.
Google Scholar, a subset of Google Web Search, is a search engine that helps users find scholarly literature such as articles, books, and theses. Google Scholar gets its information from academic publishers, professional societies, online repositories, universities, and other websites. Many students and faculty use Google Scholar, but are you getting as much out of it as you can?
In this virtual workshop you will learn the following:
How to set up Google Scholar to connect to our FGCU Library holdings

How to set up your Google Scholar profile
And more

Join us on Wednesday, March 12, from 2:00 p.m. to 3:15 p.m. for our third Scholar Series: Student Edition.
Grace Gentle, a graduate student in history and Betul Guner, a graduate student in curriculum and instruction, will present their talk, “The Life and Legacy of Ellen Peterson: A Teacher's Journey to Establishing an Environmentally Conscious Community in Southwest Florida.”
Ellen Peterson (1923-2011) was a community leader and activist. She dedicated her life to environmental conservation in Southwest Florida. In 2006, Peterson created the non-profit organization, Happehatchee Center Inc., on her property. Still serving the community today, the center is dedicated to environmental education and spirituality. As a champion of social causes, Peterson left a lasting impact on Southwest Florida.
The talk will take place on the first floor of Library West, by the Data Visualization Wall area. Snacks will be provided. Registration is encouraged but not required. Click HERE to register.
