Participants will be able to construct effective search queries by identifying and applying relevant keyword or subject terms, combined with Boolean operators (AND, OR, NOT) to iteratively refine their research questions and explore emerging lines of inquiry via the Hesburgh Library Catalog (print, ebooks, online scholarly and peer-reviewed articles, primary and secondary resources). "Research as Inquiry" frame from the ACRL Framework for Information Literacy Framework for Higher Education is critical to overall research success because it positions research not as a linear, one-time task of finding answers, but as a dynamic, iterative process driven by curiosity and evolving questions.

Participants are asked to bring their laptop computers with them to this session.
