Opportuni-Tea! Seminar Series Is Back

(17-JAN-08)

Opportuni-Tea! is back, and it's hotter than ever! This series of seminars, hosted by the Science and Engineering Libraries, is designed to help you obtain the information, caffeine and sugar that you crave. The seminars will take place monthly on Monday & Friday afternoons from 3:00-4:00.

Each will focus on a different information skill. Bring your questions and even your laptops, if you'd like (we have wireless!), and we'll help optimize your information gathering and organizing process. After each one-hour seminar, a librarian will be available for individual consultation, and, best of all, tea and sweets will be served!
