Research Information Literacy for Undergraduate
Program Brief Information
Date: 17th April 2023
Venue: Cisco Webex
Organizer: UTM Library
Role: Participant
I found out about lots of helpful things at the UTM Library in a webinar. The webinar talked about tools like a search tool, borrowing from other libraries, online resources, document management, and online courses. This info will be handy for my classes and research. It will help me pick the right resources for what I need. Going to the library also taught me how to find info for my research quickly using a computer system called OPAC and online databases. If the library doesn't have what I need, I can ask for it through ILL, which is pretty cool. These skills will surely make my future research better.
In the webinar, they showed us a new tool called "DMS" for managing documents in the UTM library. It made me realize how important it is to organize digital files well. Now, I want to learn more about how DMS works to make my work easier and keep my files in order. I also found out that UTM offers a free online course called MOOC. This is great because it lets me learn more about topics related to my research and improve my skills. I can use these online courses to add to what I'm learning in school and boost my career skills.
I took part in an online talk and noticed how I talk and think. This webinar taught me to think more carefully and understand info better. It encouraged me to get better at thinking when doing research as a student. This online meeting helped me learn important things about the UTM library and made me better at finding info for my research. I'm excited to use what I learned in this online seminar to make the library's resources better for my future learning and research projects.
This webinar addresses two crucial aspects for individuals who have completed their studies: adept communication and effective critical thinking. Communication skills facilitate the articulation of research needs, collaboration with others, and the concise explanation of research findings. The capacity for critical thinking and information evaluation enhances our comprehension of research. My participation in a webinar on research information literacy improved my utilization of the UTM Library for studying and conducting research, equipping me with valuable skills. OPAC, ILL, Online Databases, DMS, and UTM MOOCs serve as beneficial tools to enhance my research capabilities.
Initially, participants accessed the online meeting through a Webex link. Registering for the online seminar was required using the provided link on the e-learning website, which we shared on our online learning platform. Subsequently, participants gained insights into the array of useful website links available at the UTM Library. This experience broadened my awareness of the library's resources and how to leverage them for future learning and research endeavors.
