Andreja Lekic
Information specialist and workshops instructor.
In this workshop, I’ll teach you the ins and outs of efficiently searching for academic sources."Many of you struggle with finding the right information in Google Scholar. This can significantly slow down your research and cause frustration. Sound familiar? Don’t worry, you’re definitely not alone. That’s why we at the Library have developed a special workshop to help you with this."
