Library Workshops
Workshops are open to the entire UNH community. Drop in to any or all of these sessions to learn about library research and databases. It’s a good opportunity to get your questions answered in a small group environment. All workshops take place in Library Room 213 on the library’s main level. In addition to these workshops, you can arrange for a 1-on-1 individual session with a librarian for help on any of these topics or any research related issues by calling 203-932-7189, e-mailing libraryhelp@newhaven.edu or stopping by the information desk. If you are unable to attend a workshop, let us know and we will send you the handouts and/or copies of the presentations.
All workshops are held in Room 213 in the Library.
