ONLINE COURSES

The University Library — primarily in an online format — organizes research and publication support office hours for targeted groups, but all interested participants are welcome. Each session is announced around a specific theme, allowing participants to ask questions, discuss general or individual issues, and consult with the library’s research support staff.
