Are you an undergrad trying to create a well-researched and well-written essay? Attend the “Turbo Charge Your Term Paper” workshop to help you get started!

The Library and Writing and Communication Centre present a 30-minute lesson on addressing the most common problems in the researching and writing process, followed by time to work through your own assignment and receive one-on-one help, regardless of where you are in the researching/writing process. Attend the lesson, drop in for a consultation, or both!

Register ahead of time or when you arrive.

In this session, participants will be introduced to copyright and licensing and what rights and responsibilities they have when publishing their research. This session includes an introduction to:

• Copyright and licensing as they apply to publication
• Your rights as an author, and tips on how to keep them
• Suggestions of helpful resources for publication
• Questionable publisher practices, and how to avoid them

In this session, participants will be introduced to copyright concepts as they apply to the writing and publication of their thesis on . This session will cover:

• Your copyright responsibilities when writing your thesis
• Considerations for using your own work
• Considerations for using third party materials (images, figures, etc.)

This session will provide a simple overview of copyright, and the implications it has in your teaching. By the end of this session you will be better prepared to:

• Use copyright protected works in the classroom, LEARN, or through Course Reserves
• Choose alternate options for using materials, if necessary

Theses and other long documents (e.g., books, manuals, reports) can present challenges that shorter documents don't. It is more difficult to maintain a standard "look and feel" throughout a long document like a thesis. This course will demonstrate features in Word that will make formatting your thesis easier and less time consuming, such as: styles, numbering headings, page numbering, captioning tables and figures, footnotes, cross references, table of contents, and lists of tables and figures.

You may have heard of GIS, but what exactly is it, and more importantly, how can you use it in your own research and academic work?

This introductory workshop presents the basic concepts of GIS and will teach you the skills you need to find geospatial data, map it, and discover new dimensions of information.

By the end of the workshop, you will be able to:

Ever wanted to try Open Source GIS but didn’t know where to start?

• Understand what GIS is and geospatial data are
• Navigate ArcGIS software and tools
• Find and add data to a map
• Discover information and attributes about the data
• Produce a simple map that shares your visualization of the data
