"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."

"During the session, we’ll dive into smart search techniques that you can immediately apply to your own study topics. I’ll also guide you through important databases in the field of Humanities, such as Historical Abstracts, Linguistics & Language Behavior Abstracts, MLA Bibliography, and Philosopher's Index. I’ll show you how to refine your search terms to get to the core of your subject more quickly.

My goal is to equip you with the tools to navigate the sea of academic literature more confidently and efficiently. This will not only help you now, but also in your future academic career."
