Every week, we are going to be hosting library Zoom sessions.  Some of the sessions will be overviews of searching the library databases and some will be more specific - such as using APA or using particular databases.  We will post the information for the weekly Zoom session here.  Everyone is welcome to attend.

Heather Gray is inviting you to a scheduled Zoom meeting on Thursday, April 2, 2020 at 7:30 pm.  This session will cover some of the changes between the 6th and 7th editions of the APA publication manual.
