Overview
The Information Services and Instruction Section of the University Library is organizing a webinar session to introduce its lineup of new and current online resource subscriptions to discuss timely and relevant topics with the intention to address the information needs of the academic community as we begin the second semester. Each online database shall be introduced and discussed by experts. There will also be demonstrations of these new resources to familiarize clients with each separate interface further and show research best practices. The focal point of each presentation would enable students and faculty to apply a specific type of research or approach in their respective discipline or industry through the use of the resources provided. An open forum to accommodate questions and concerns regarding the use of these resources shall immediately follow throughout the program.
