Are you a graduate student, research assistant, or teaching assistant looking to develop your research skills? Dal Libraries’ Research Camp is a comprehensive program that will take you through the research process from literature searching and writing all the way to publication. The program is open to any student, faculty, or staff member at Dalhousie, but is specifically tailored to graduate students.

Research Camp is offered as a series of online modules in Brightspace. Modules may include short video lectures and interactive exercises to help you brush up on your literature searching, writing, information management, and research skills. Some modules include recordings of live sessions that are offered every May/June as part of this program. The program is self-paced and participants can select which modules they would like to complete. By registering for this program, you will have access to all of the content until the end of March 2024.

Research Camp badges are available for module completion, and badges accumulate toward certificates. Check out the full list of available certificates.
