Join us each week for Interleaf: A Scholarly Writing Group, meeting Wednesdays from 3:00-5:00 at Homer Babbidge Library 1102.

This is a space for graduate students, postdocs, and all scholars engaged in writing and publishing to build community across disciplines, to set aside dedicated structured time to write, and to feel less isolated in the pursuit of a finished draft. Writing groups are a crucial connection point for collaborative resource, service, and expertise sharing across often siloed disciplines and perspectives. You will also get acquainted with HBL?s Scholarly Communications Team.

Meeting Structure:

• 3:00-3:15: Introductions & Goal Setting

• 3:15-4:45: Dedicated Writing Time

• 4:45-5:00: Interleaf Exits

Information Literacy Basics: Ready-to-Use Support for Building Foundational Student Research Skills

How can we help students develop the information literacy skills they need to navigate increasingly complex information environments and research questions? Information Literacy Basics is a new self-paced Blackboard course designed by the UConn Library to support undergraduate students as they develop research questions, create search strategies, discover and evaluate information, and make informed choices throughout the research process.

In this workshop, participants will explore the Information Literacy Basics course and consider ways to use its modular content to support information literacy instruction in their own courses. We?ll look at how individual modules and activities can be incorporated into existing courses and assignments, with particular attention to supporting the Information, Digital, and Media Literacy competency in UConn?s Common Curriculum.
