This wiki was created by Dr. Sydney Brown to support students in completing dissertations. I will post resources from the university and other resources I've found helpful. I encourage you to do the same!

Hello School of Education Professors!

I just wanted to take a moment to share with you a great library resource that is available to your students. The Dover Library has created a Research Workshop Series for graduate Education students. This workshop series contains short modules that will walk them through all of the library’s services and research tools.

The workshop covers things like: Interlibrary Loan, ERIC database, and RefWorks our citation manager software. There are also modules that cover a variety of graduate level research strategies that will make researching our database collection easier and more efficient.

Please share the link below with your students and encourage them to contact the Dover Library via our Reference Chat service or our Reference Desk number. We are here to help!
