The Penn Libraries invites research support staff to connect with other staff members and librarians over some delicious snacks to learn about the various Penn Libraries research services that you and your research community can take advantage of.

We will have librarians staffing tables who can use this time to introduce themselves, answer questions, and establish themselves as a person of support for research services at Penn Libraries. We will also have brief lightning talks by librarians providing highlights of the services we offer and how you can get involved.

The services covered include systematic reviews, research data management, copyright, bioinformatics, 3D printing for research, open access publishing, and ScholarlyCommons, the University of Pennsylvania's open access institutional repository.

We will be sharing handouts, swag, and business cards that you can take with you!
