Structured to teach supplemental research and information literacy skills, the Workshops for Researchers program offers virtual workshops available in the Fall and Spring semesters, with select workshops in Summer. Most workshops are typically offered once per term. These workshops are not recorded, but instructional materials are available at the semester tab to the left.
Librarians and external speakers with specialized expertise offer a suite of workshops that provide tools and strategies to support research at USF and help faculty and student researchers enhance their research impact and visibility. This guide contains handouts, instructional materials, and other content provided at sessions of the USF Libraries Workshops for Researchers Series.
