Whether it’s for a research paper, a class presentation, a presentation, or homework, you need more than just an AI summary from your favorite search engine to get good results. In our training session, we’ll show you how to find and use academic literature quickly and easily. 

You’ll learn how to conduct targeted research, critically evaluate information, identify reliable sources, and cite them correctly. We’ll also explore where large language models (AI) can help you with this—and where caution is advised.

Have you found a source, but the Clausthal University Library doesn’t provide access to it? That’s no problem either. We’ll show you how to obtain it through interlibrary loan.

This workshop offers a practical introduction and helps you write your papers confidently, in a structured manner, and independently.
