I Don’t Know What That Means: Helping Students Understand the Language of Research (Virtual Event)
What is a scholarly source? What is peer review? What is a literature review? In many ways, learning to be an effective information researcher requires students to learn another language. There are many terms that instructors regularly incorporate into their instructions for research or inquiry-based assignments that may be unfamiliar to students. In addition, the meaning of some terms can vary across disciplines. There may also be terms that have an “everyday” meaning and a different meaning within the context of research.
This free virtual workshop will focus on highlighting key academic jargon related to the research process. Participants will also learn about strategies and resources that will help to clarify key terms and concepts for students.

Academic Research and the Expert-Novice Gap: Helping Students Understand the Purpose of Research (Virtual Event)
Experienced researchers tend to think about research as an ongoing and iterative process in which individual researchers contribute their findings to an ongoing conversation within or across disciplines. However, as novice researchers, students may have a very different understanding of the purpose of research. The lack of a shared understanding of the goals and process of research may contribute to the frustration that students and instructors often have related to student performance on research or inquiry-based assignments.
This free virtual workshop will explore the expert-novice gap in relation to the purpose and process of academic research. Participants will learn strategies and activities that they can use to help students develop their understanding of the purpose and process of research.

Identifying Outdated Research Notions (Virtual Event)
Students, and sometimes even instructors, may have a wide range of misconceptions or outdated notions when it comes to information searching and research assignments. In this workshop, participants will learn about some common, but outdated, understandings about how to find, evaluate and use information as part of the research process. Participants will also collaborate in updating these notions to provide a more effective guidance to students.

ORCID 101 (Virtual Event)
This webinar will provide an overview of ORCID. Information will be provided to help you understand what an ORCID iD is and how it can benefit you. You will learn how to register for an ORCID iD and how to start populating data in your ORCID record.
Do As I Say: Authenticity and the Research Process (Virtual Event)
When starting a research project, do you develop a list of keywords and synonyms before you search? Have you ever cited a source without reading the entire article? Do you always spend a significant amount of time evaluating each source you find?
When instructors and librarians teach students how to conduct research, we often outline specific steps that students should take and provide guidelines they should follow. But do we always follow these steps or guidelines ourselves? If we don’t, why not? And what does that mean for the way we teach research?
This presentation will explore the idea of authenticity in relation to how we teach the research process. Participants will be encouraged to think about how we can approach teaching the research process as it often is, rather than what we think it should look like.
This presentation is based on, “Never have I ever used Google Scholar: hypocrisy and authenticity in library and academic skills teaching,” presented by Rachel Davies and Joe Larkin at the Library LILAC 2024.
