Professional development opportunity for first-year science graduate students
For the second semester, K-State Libraries' science team is conducting a professional development cohort for first-year science graduate students. This initiative aims to empower students with essential library research skills and resources to excel academically and beyond.
This workshop series will focus on literature review skills for students eager to enhance their professional skills by leveraging the Libraries' extensive resources. Librarians will present on a range of topics, including:
- Literature review techniques.
- Citation management for organized research.
- Effective reading and note-taking strategies.
- Developing a scholarly identity.
- Generative artificial intelligence tools.
- Navigating the world of scholarly writing and publishing.
Additional topics may be introduced based on participants' interests and needs. Librarians will also host an interactive Canvas space to share reflections and engage in meaningful discussions.
The cohort will begin the week after spring break and meet in person for two hours weekly for four weeks. Meeting times will be scheduled based on the availability of the graduate students who apply.
The K-State Libraries' science team encourages all first-year science graduate students interested in this opportunity to complete the application form by Feb. 28. Applicants will be notified of meeting times for the cohort by March 7.
Questions can be sent via email to the science team at ksul-science@k-state.edu.
