The Investigative Researcher's Toolkit

This workshop will introduce participants to the mindset and skills of investigative research.

Participants will:

• utilize University Libraries resources and external tools to answer a complex research question as part of a case study
• follow an information trail across archives, books, films, and digital correspondence, learning to navigate both discoveries and dead ends
• work with organized research folders of public filings, media coverage, and archival materials on Zotero and Scrivener while completing the case study
• practice asking sharper questions, fact checking sources, and weaving scattered materials into narratives
• leave with a toolkit of resources and strategies to support investigative work in a variety of disciplines. 

Anyone looking to learn or fine-tune investigative research skills is welcome!

Registration is required.
