Steven Adams: Research Hacks - TIps & Tools for the Busy Scholar for the Busy Scholar
Lunch 'n Learn presentation: The vast print and online resources of the Princeton University Library can be a bit overwhelming to both nascent and seasoned scholars. Most scholars and researchers are so busy with their daily responsibilities that there’s little opportunity for exploration and staying current with new technologies and resources. In this talk, Steven Adams, the Biological and Life Sciences Librarian and Interim Psychology Librarian, will show you how to establish a system that watches over your research interests and brings interesting material directly to you in ways that are easy to process and digest. Steven will focus on several time-saving library research tools that will transform the way you search the literature. Most notably, Steven will officially launch the LibX PUL toolbar, an amazing browser plug-in that amalgamates several databases and library systems to make the research process more efficient.
