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. Faculty can also recommend the program to their research assistants or teaching assistants. The program is coordinated by Dalhousie Libraries with support from the Dalhousie Writing Centre.

Modules may include short video lectures and interactive exercises to help you brush up on your literature searching, writing, information management, and research skills.
