March workshops: Finding conference proceedings and Calculating your academic footprint

The Library still has some room left in its March workshops Finding conference proceedings and Calculating your academic footprint.

Finding conference proceedings

Finding conference proceedings can be tricky! This hands-on session will introduce you to deciphering conference proceedings citations and provide you with the tools to navigate the often complicated search process.

Calculating your academic footprint

The workshop provides a hands-on learning environment to explore using RefWorks (or other bibliographic management software) and any research database, with citation tracking and search alert capabilities, to maintain an accurate list of your own publications and track and collect citations of your work. The process will help you to identify the best citation tracking sources for your field, uses multiple sources to ensure all your work is tracked, and maximizes citation counts. The workshop does not delve into author-focused impact factors (e.g., h-index, etc.). This workshop will be useful for those preparing academic advancement documentation, grant proposals and sabbatical applications.
