Search Smarter, Not Harder

Search Smarter, Not Harder Online

Do you have a research project but you don’t know how to get started? Do you feel overwhelmed by the USC Libraries website? Do you find promising articles on Google Scholar only to get blocked by paywalls? This workshop will teach you how to search smarter and not harder. Learn your way around the USC Library website and gain basic and advanced search skills so you can spend more time learning instead of getting stuck at the starting line.

 

After participating in this workshop, you will be able to:

  • Implement foundational and advanced search strategies in the USC Libraries' databases and catalog
  • Locate peer-reviewed research in the USC Libraries collections
  • Seamlessly connect to USC Libraries collections from websites and Google scholar
