Leverage Your Librarian (and other time saving tips) with Anna Uribe Happy Doc Student Podcast
-
- Self-Improvement
Take-home message: Utilize the librarian and your library!
Anna Uribe: Masters of Library and Information Services and lead instruction librarian and the liaison for doctoral programs at the University of Arizona global campus, AUGC.
Tips:
1. Don’t use links to save your research
2. Download that resource
3. Figure out how you will organize your references: Zotero, Mandalay, Refworks (check to see if your tuition covers citation software – if not, check out the free links I have on my website: https://www.expandyourhappy.com/online-resources)
4. Book a one-on-one appointment with a librarian to discuss your research area
5. Don’t spend more than 30 minutes being confused or frustrated!
6. Start learning how to do advanced searches now so you have this under your belt by the time you get to your dissertation/doc project
7. Librarians are experts in finding information - they do this for their JOB and they LIKE IT! (utilize them: 24/7 chats, emails, phone calls, etc.)
8. Estimate that it will take you 90 minutes to find ONE resource – this includes searching, evaluating search results, reviewing an article, and note taking
9. Schedule time to be in the library to work on your research (communicate your need for this dedicated time with your family and friends)
10. Research AND then write (don’t try to do both together)
