The Library subscribes to Sage Research Methods Online, a database with over 1,000 videos, books, handbooks, and journal articles focusing on research design and methods in the social sciences. This Thursday, September 6th, a trainer from Sage will lead workshops in Library L17 on using the tool. Snacks will be provided!
1:30-2:30 pm: Quantitative Methods Workshop
3:30-4:30pm: Ethnographic Methods Workshop
Each semester, Academic Support Services and Library staff host workshops for students on general study skills, research skills, quantitative skills, and senior thesis-writing. In an effort to make it easier for students to find out about upcoming workshops, the DoJo and the Library have created a combined workshop list.
You can find it on both the Academic Support Services and Library websites.
Many thanks to Public Affairs and Conference & Events Planning for their help in creating the combined workshop list!

Zotero and EndNote are two citation management software packages available to Reed students. Citation managers allow you to create your own personal research database to easily collect, organize , and format references. Learning to use a citation manager will help you save time when creating bibliographies.
Questions? Ask A Librarian!
What does it mean when you’re told to “write an essay”?
How do you come up with a good question?
Join us to explore methods to find and act on research questions, how to narrow a question’s focus, and develop and implement research strategies to complement your question. And there will be snacks!
