University of Georgia Libraries

This webinar will introduce graduate students the breadth and depth of social science research resources available at the UGA Libraries.

As a graduate student you often will be required to complete literature reviews for classes, research assistantships, prospectuses, and dissertations or theses.  This webinar will focus on resources in the social sciences.  You will learn the skills necessary to efficiently and effectively search for academic research, as well as where to search to find seminal literature in your discipline.  Structure of literature reviews will also be discussed.

Introduction to the UGA Libraries provided app “Browzine,” a resource which helps students keep track of new issues of specific journals from their field.

In 2026, the United States will mark the 250^th anniversary of its founding.

There is a sea of federal government information out there:  research reports, legislation, regulations, data sets, and so much more!  The UGA Libraries has access to databases which make finding this information easier.  The webinar will focus on searching for government information from Congress (laws, bills, reports, hearings, etc.), as well as Regulatory information from the Executive Branch. 

This session will go over common components of a literature review in the sciences, its main purpose, and address some strategies to help you search for material.
