Learn some helpful tips and tricks for finding academic research articles and how to read and evaluate them quickly and effectively, even if you are not an expert in the topic.

Academic journal articles can feel overwhelming, but they don’t have to be. Enrichment Librarian Jenny Durham will share tips about how professional librarians locate reliable research, break down complex studies, and read scholarly work with confidence. Anyone can do this—no college background or subject expertise required!
