- Presenter: Mr. Chris Hollister, Associate Librarian, University Libraries
- The effective use of scholarly sources available only through the UB Libraries is a critical component of any graduate student’s academic success. Workshop attendees will learn how to navigate the Libraries’ wealth of electronic resources, and how to effectively use them to find scholarly materials in support of their research and writing.

◆ Successful Academic Writing Strategies and Key Writing Center Resources
