Graduate & Postdoc Workshops @ UCF Libraries

Each semester UCF Libraries offer workshops for graduate students and postdoctoral researchers presented in collaboration with the College of Graduate Studies -- Graduate Student Life. For questions about our current sessions or to request a group workshop, please contact Corinne Bishop, Graduate Engagement Librarian.

This session highlights time-saving strategies to locate sources for upcoming assignments, research projects and literature reviews. Learn how to navigate library website options, access peer reviewed journals and discipline-specific databases, and use common search strategies and options to maximize Google Scholar.

Can you use any image you find online in your presentation? Do you need to get permission to use a chart or graphic for your thesis or dissertation? These are just a few of the questions that we will explore in this session focused on the ethical and legal use of copyrighted images, graphics, and other visual materials. Attendees will learn about copyright basics with a specific focus on visual works and how to be good stewards of copyrighted content created by others.

Citation management tools allow you to save, organize, and annotate (PDF) resources. They also include options to insert citations and references within Word documents as you write. Commonly used tools include: EndNote and Zotero, and UCF librarians provide training for these tools.
