About the Series

Each session in this suite of four interactive seminars integrates the learning of academic research and writing skills and is taught by a librarian in collaboration with a writing instructor. The goal of each seminar is to help you develop your own voice as an emerging scholar by enabling you to identify, situate and substantiate your arguments in the context of the scholarly discussion taking place in your discipline. The seminars are designed for humanities and social sciences undergraduate students. Graduate students might wish to consider the research-related skills offerings provided by the School of Graduate Studies.

Annotated Bibliographies

The session addresses the “big picture” of the place of annotated bibliographies in the scholarly conversation, as well as “nuts-and-bolts” strategies for researching and evaluating books and articles to identify the best sources on a topic. As such, the skills acquired are transferable beyond the annotated bibliography assignment. Through short lectures, interactive class discussion and hands-on exercises, you will learn:

To recognize different types of annotated bibliography assignments

To define the scope of your research to make good choices about including and excluding sources

To identify landmark or influential studies on your topic

Location: Online via Zoom. The link to the session will be sent to you in the confirmation email upon registration.
