University of Pittsburgh Library System

Several workshops are offered to awardees throughout the semester. These sessions help create a united cohort, check student progress, raise awareness of useful services and resources, clarify questions, and address concerns.

Our librarians and archivists will support students so that they will be able to: 

• Gain proficiency with various library databases.
• Develop strategies in locating and evaluating primary sources in research.  
• Describe the thought process, opinion, and interpretation of the sources that are being reviewed. 
• Communicate research effectively to a wide variety of audiences in writing and public speaking. 
• Create a record of scholarship by depositing research into D-Scholarship, the University of Pittsburgh’s Digital Repository.
