Bodleian iSkills is a series of workshops covering information discovery and searching for scholarly materials, keeping up to date with research, using reference management tools, research data management and open access publishing. For Michaelmas term, most of the workshops will continue to run online.
These sessions are primarily aimed at Oxford University students (predominantly Researchers) and staff but check the ‘intended audience’ field in the course description before booking, as some are open to a wider audience.
