Libraries offers workshops to enhance graduate student and faculty skills
Workship series takes place over spring semester
University Libraries is offering a spring workshop series on a number of different topics, such as citation management, copyright, patent and trademark searching, author rights, video recording, determining where to publish, and more.
The University Libraries' workshop series is also sponsored by the University Graduate School and the Graduate Student Association (GSA).
Workshops begin in February and run through May 2017. The workshops are primarily designed for faculty and graduate students, although anyone with a valid University of Nevada, Reno NetID is welcome to attend.

"By offering these free, educational workshops we hope to provide attendees with an opportunity to learn something new.
