Research 101 is a project created by the Instruction Services Division at UC Berkeley Library. As a team, our mission is to teach emerging scholars to approach research with confidence, creativity, and critical insight, empowering them to access, critically evaluate, and use information to create and distribute their own research in a technologically evolving environment. We also partner with instructors and GSIs to integrate the Library in courses and assignments. Learn more about each of us:
