This session is eligible for a TMU Libraries badge. Badges are meant to recognize that you’ve developed a particular skill or concept through attendance at a library workshop, and completion of an activity after the session. There are two types of badges we offer:
1) badges for individual workshops which recognize specific skills, and
2) stacked badges, showing you have completed 3-5 workshops in a group of related workshops and demonstrating the interrelated nature of the different skills.
Strategic Scholarly Reading can be used to earn an individual badge, or as a component of the Research Skills Stacked Badge. Complete at least three of the five workshops listed here to earn the Research Skills Stacked Badge.
