Information Technology Workshops
Information Literacy and Research Skills Workshops
All degree and diploma students are required to complete 9 hours of non-credit, no-fee workshops in Information Literacy. Full-time students complete these workshops in their first year of study, and part-time students no later than the end of their second year of study. These workshops are taught by the Technical Services Coordinator of the Library.
The workshops will engage students in hands-on as well as theoretical work intended to develop knowledgeable, disciplined and critically astute researchers. For those writing a thesis, one session will focus specifically on developing a thesis proposal and thesis writing skills. Students may be able to test out of all or part of these workshops if they already have sufficient background in the areas covered. The Library Director is the only person who can waive the requirement to attend these workshops.
