These three sessions are open to the entire FSU community.  Even if you are a seasoned researcher, you might want to consider stopping by to see what’s new, because some library tools you may have relied on for the last decade -catalogUSMAI and Research Port - may be replaced soon!

• Using expert tips to develop effective search strategies
• Finding books, eBooks, articles, and more using the library discovery tool OneSearch
• Navigating databases in your discipline at Databases A-Z
• Citing, saving, and managing  the sources you find with personalized database tools
