Session description

This Zoom session will give you a thorough introduction to the SAGE Research Methods platform, a database containing thousands of resources, dedicated to research methods across a range of subject areas. The database is currently being trialled through the Università di Bologna Library until the end of September 2019. The session will cover content and tools you can use in order to improve the research skills and capabilities of your users, and build your confidence and experience in using the database for future study and research projects. Participants will also have the time to ask questions, so that by the end of the session, everyone will be ready to start exploring the platform independently. This session would be perfect for library staff who support research activity across the organization’s research community, faculty members who are teaching Research Methods courses, those supervising research projects, or even those conducting their own research!

PLEASE NOTE: This webinar will refresh and develop your knowledge of the SAGE Research Methods platform, and will be more detailed and interactive than the online training that was conducted in July. If you didn’t attend the online training in July, or haven’t seen the recording, then please contact Enrica Zani to gain access to the recording ahead of this webinar.

We will be using a worksheet during the training to help us discover useful resources. Please read and understand the worksheet before the webinar. You can download a copy of the worksheet from this link: Download the worksheet here.

This session will be held over Zoom. You can join our Zoom room by clicking this link: https://zoom.us/j/964449579

Tips and advice:

Join the meeting 5-10 minutes before the official start time, in order to set up your audio
Using a headset is the best option and works like teleconference (e.g. Skype), using your computer audio as a speaker and microphone
As long as you have speakers and can hear the presenter, you should be able to enjoy the session
You may join this online meeting room at any time up until the session, so feel free to try a test call and practise the audio connection between now and the session
If you need any help at all, please email the session host, Chloe Turner, on Chloe.Turner@sagepub.co.uk

Many thanks and I look forward to meeting you at the session!
