Half Hour to the STARs (Supplemental Training in Academic Research) Research Workshops
STAR Research Workshops are another part of the Information Literacy Instruction Program. These workshops build on the basics covered in WINS, but they can be taken even if you haven’t already attended a WINS workshop.
STAR Research Workshops offer flexibility because the workshops can be taken in any order, and you can take as many or as few of the workshops as meets your interests/needs.
If you see a workshop that you would like to have presented to your class, student group, or other group, please contact Theresa Mastrodonato at tmastrodonato@wustl.edu.
STAR Workshops Spring 2025
Spring Workshops will be held in-person in Olin Library in Instruction Room 1 (Level A) and via Zoom.
