Every week until the end of the semester, our library student ambassadors will be giving 15-minute presentations about different library resources. Each mini workshop will feature one of the following topics:

  • Library Databases: Our databases contain multitudes of information! But how do you find the articles you need for your research paper with so much area to cover? In this presentation, our student ambassadors will demonstrate how to search for articles that your professors want to see on your bibliography. 

  • Library Spaces: We are more than just books! Did you know we have spaces where you can engage in 3D printing, podcasting, see a museum-quality exhibit and more? Our student ambassadors will guide you through the stacks to the Makerspace, the Media Production Studios, the Archives and more in just 15 minutes.

  • Printing and Technology: There isn’t much you can’t print at the library! Stop by to get all the details on how easy, quick and inexpensive it is to get prints of your work. From classic black and white to color to 3D, you’ll become a printing expert in 15 minutes.

  • Equipment for Checkout: Did you know you can check out way more than books? You can check out cameras, calculators, laptops, dry erase markers, skeletons and the list goes on. In 15 minutes, our student ambassadors will add it up for you and show you just how easy it is to get your hands on them.

  • Books & Call Numbers: There are A LOT of books in the stacks on the upper floors. How do you even find the right one? Our student ambassadors have you covered, and in 15 minutes, they will show you how easy it is to look up a title, understand the call number and find it on the shelf.

Join them on the first floor of Library West by the Data Visualization Wall area. These will be the best spent minutes of your day! Check out the library’s calendar page here to see the full schedule of our mini workshops!
