OISE Library is running an in-person Critical Search Skills for Graduate Students series this winter semester! This series is designed for graduate students in education and social sciences who want to level up their literature searching skills while striving for critical and responsible information practices.
Graduate-level scholarship can be daunting, but these sessions offer a curious, supportive, and collaborative environment for in-person learning. Join your peers to explore and tackle these ideas together!
Each session is led by an OISE Librarian who will provide guidance, hands-on activities, and discussion facilitation on topics related to designing, refining, and managing your searches. Our goal is to help you feel more confident and comfortable in your role as graduate students and researchers. Coffee and tea will be provided.
You can attend these sessions individually or as a complete series—choose the ones that best meet your searching needs. Click on the links below to read more about the sessions and register:
- Session 1: Turning Great Ideas into Effective Search Questions (Monday, January 27 OR Friday, January 31)
- Session 2: Fundamentals of Strategic Searching (Monday, February 10 OR Friday, February 14)
- Session 3: Untangling AI in the Literature Search Process (Tuesday, March 04 OR Friday, March 07)

We look forward to working with you at the library!
