Citation Month, Many events you can participate in!

We’re thrilled to kick off a series of exciting events designed to celebrate the art of citation and the importance of academic integrity. Join us for workshops, scavenger hunt, and interactive sessions that will make citing sources not only easy but fun!

Citation Scavenger Hunt – available all month!

Pick up a scavenger hunt worksheet from the Library Service Desk to participate. Complete the worksheet by following the trail of citations, and submit your worksheet in the drop box. Completed worksheets will be entered into a draw for prizes!

Students in GPS can ask for a Completion Certificate from the Library Service Desk when they submit their completed worksheet.

Oct 7 – Oct 31

Following the Conversation workshop

Tracking down a specific source from a citation can be tricky, but it’s an important research strategy! You can see how researchers develop ideas by building on each other, like a conversation, and find important sources for your research projects. It can also help you complete our Citation Scavenger Hunt! In this workshop you’ll learn how to be a smarter, more efficient researcher by following citations in your syalbus, assigned readings, or a GPS reader.
