Library Essentials: Boolean Searching/OneSearch/Citations

Review your research skills and learn how to use the library more effectively! We'll cover the many sources and tools available in our OneSearch database, as well as how to search in the library using Boolean logic. We'll also cover citations and even how to use AI to check a citation you've written. Please join us for an hour of library learning! 

AI for Research: Using Copilot and Other Tools Ethically and Efficiently

Please join us as we explore ways to use AI as an assistant in a research project, without letting AI do the thinking and writing for you! We'll look at how to use a general AI, such as Copilot or ChatGPT, in various stages of a research project. We'll also look at the library's own AI, Research Assistant, which will take your research question and write an overview of your topic, suggest further avenues of research, and more. UMGC librarians will also want to hear about ways that you use AI for research, so please do attend!

APA Basics, Tips, and Tricks!

We'll try to take some of the stress out of APA by going over the basics: how to do reference and in-text citations in APA format; how to correct APA citation mistakes made by a library database; and even how to use AI to help with citations! In this interactive session, we'll welcome your questions about APA!

Business Research

All UMGC students and faculty are welcome to attend a virtual presentation to learn more about some of the UMGC Library’s databases that can be used for business research. During the presentation, we will show some useful features of the library’s main business databases. We will demonstrate how the databases can be used to find company information and profiles, industry profiles and trends, financial information (including business ratios), SWOT analyses, country profiles, and more.
