Workshop Schedule

• September 25 | Writing for the Sciences — Karen Beard (WILD)
  Writing is a skill for scientists, just like data collection and data analysis, yet it's rarely taught directly—we're often expected to learn through trial and error. In this workshop, we'll unpack some of the "tricks" of science writing, including understanding the structure of manuscript sections that can make getting started easier. You'll leave with practical guidance for getting words on the page, along with the reminder that no one writes a great first draft: becoming a better science writer takes practice.
• October 30 | Licensing & Permissions — David Advent (Library)
  Join USU Libraries and the School of Graduate Studies for our Licensing and Permissions Workshop. This is an interactive workshop on how to publish and protect your work, and you'll learn how Creative Commons licenses work, how to read a publishing contract, and how to spot and avoid predatory journals, all of which will support you on your publishing journey!
• December 4 | Zotero and LaTeX — Library, Scott Budge (ECE)
  Zotero: In this hands-on workshop, students will learn to set up and sync a Zotero account, set up shared groups, organize sources with folders, tags, and notes, and import citations from a variety of databases.
  
  LaTeX for Dummies: This workshop will present the basics on how to use LaTeX to easily produce a high-quality dissertation or MS thesis document for publication. An introduction to LaTeX will be given, followed by examples of how a LaTeX.cls (class or template) file developed by the College of Engineering can be used to simplify the process of creating a properly-formatted document.

All workshops meet in the Merrill-Cazier Library, Room 122, from 12–1 p.m.
