'Night of the Research Paper' returns
KALAMAZOO, Mich.鈥擶aldo Library is staging "Night of the Research Paper" from 4 to 9 p.m. Wednesday, Nov. 5, to help Western Michigan University students succeed in their research assignments.
During this event, librarians, Writing Center staff and other 51福利社 experts give students one-on-one assistance through all or part of the process of doing a research paper or project.
"Don't be a research zombie, getting started early can help quell the fears," event organizers caution. "We want to help our students do their best work and learn about the great materials available through the library."
Help will be available on:
- narrowing and defining a topic
- finding reliable and scholarly information
- organizing the paper
- appropriately citing sources
Participants are asked to bring a hard copy of their research assignment to their one-on-one consultation. Entire classes are welcome, but prior notice is requested so accommodations can be made.
Organizers also note that research assistance and writing help are always available at Waldo Library's Central Reference Desk, (269) 387-5178, and the Writing Center, (269) 387-4615.
This year's "Night of the Research Paper," which will include fall-themed snacks, is being supported by the Western Student Association, Bronco Study Zone, the Writing Center, Kalamazoo 10 Theaters and the Friends of University Libraries.
