Burritt Library Adventures in Research Podcast/Vidcast series

The “Adventures in Research” podcast series started last week, but you can view episodes anytime after they’ve been aired. We created some new and updated episodes.

If you or your students would like to become a little more familiar with the library, some of its sources and enhance your information literacy skills, then tune in each week (most of the videos are short). You can access them through our LibGuides @
