For anyone doing internet-based research. How can we create reliable, permanent copies of social media, websites, and other documents only found online? This 1-hour workshop explores tools you can use yourself, and how you can make use of web archiving projects worldwide, to carry out research, or to preserve copies of ephemeral digital material to be studied or referenced. (Chrome browser recommended.)

By attending this workshop you will:

• understand the challenges of preserving digital material on the web;
• know how to use and contribute to Internet Archive collections;
• explore other free tools to preserve social media content for later reference.

This session will be held online via Zoom. A confirmation with a link to the session will be emailed to you after registration.

Systematic reviews, unlike other types of literature reviews, follow a structured and predefined process. In this session, we will walk you through the steps of a systematic review, focusing on preparing for your systematic review, identifying key sources of research and developing detailed search strategies. Learn how librarians can support you in conducting a systematic review.

By the end of this workshop, you will be able to:

• distinguish a systematic review from other types of literature reviews
• identify the steps to conducting a systematic review
• recognize tools and resource to aid in your review

Open access (OA) is imperative for ensuring free and unrestricted access to scientific knowledge. It can help increase the visibility of research and improve the impact and citation of researchers. Funding agencies (e.g., Tri-Council) are now requiring that research funded by them should be published OA, either through OA journals or post-prints deposit in institutional repositories. This makes OA publishing a pivotal part of the research cycle for Lakehead University faculty, postdoctoral researchers, and graduate student researchers.

By the end of this workshop, you will be able to:

understand OA publishing routes
identify the pros and cons of OA publishing
understand how to retain copyright while publishing in non-OA journals (if necessary)
identify resources available for publishing OA, article processing charges waivers and discounts for Lakehead University faculty, researchers, and students
locate quality OA journals in your discipline

Note: This session will be held online via Zoom. A confirmation with a link to the session will be emailed to you after registration.
