Library Research Workshops for International Students

Room 213, 2nd Floor, center, Ellis Library

These workshops specifically designed for international students will cover:

  • Exploring the MU Libraries (Learn how MU Libraries support your research—take advantage of all the free services the MU Libraries have to offer)
  • Finding Articles using MU article databases and Google Scholar (Discover which databases are best for YOUR research. Learn time-saving tips for effective searching to find the research articles, reports and other materials you need)
  • Finding Books using the MERLIN Catalog and Google Books (Use the right online search tools to locate books in the library, find books on a topic, find books that even mention a topic, and retrieve books from other libraries)
  • Writing your Paper and Citing your Sources (Don’t make the mistake of using other researchers’ findings and ideas in your paper without proper credit)
