At this in-person event, we'll have staff from the ArtCenter Library and the Graduate Writing Center discuss strategies for graduate students just beginning work on their theses.

Bob Dirig, Director of Archives and Special Collections, will give an overview of previous grad theses and the process of submitting your work.

Alfonso Huerta, Director, Outreach and Access, will give an overview of library services and Basic Search.

Mark Parsons and Andrea Harpole, Research Librarians, will discuss the Library's Extended Search and online research databases, your one-stop shop for all secondary sources.

Reuben Merringer, Director of the Graduate Writing Center, will complement this discussion with specific writing strategies to use in your thesis drafts.

Lunch will be provided for those in attendance. After a lunch break, we will discuss how to properly strategize your research and develop a coherent plan of action.

We'll wrap up with a presentation by Rachel Julius, Director of Research and Instruction, about how to properly cite your sources using Zotero software.

If you're a graduate student just beginning the process of writing your thesis project, please don't miss this important opportunity to learn from ArtCenter's best resources. Our ArtCenter Library and Graduate Writing Center staff are trained experts on many, if not all, issues you will undoubtedly come across.
