A Scholar’s Digital Footprint
February 28 - 3:00 pm - 5:00 pm
Free
On February 28, the MCB community is invited to a hands-on workshop, A Scholar’s Digital Footprint – Tips for Using Scholarly Sites and Social Networks for Professional Purposes, led by Jillian Amaral, MCB’s Reference, Collections, and Instruction Librarian. The seminar is presented as part of MCB’s Career Development Series.
This one-hour workshop is designed for scientists at all career stages—undergraduates, graduate students, postdocs, research staff, and faculty—who want to optimize their online presence. Attendees will learn how to set up professional profiles and connect their scholarly work to platforms that enhance visibility and networking.
“I designed this workshop because I recognized that students and postdocs may not be aware of their scholarly digital footprint and how to integrate various aspects of it,” says Jillian.
This is the first in a series of upcoming workshops from Jillian, including sessions on literature and citation management for theses and dissertations, as well as data management. Remember to bring your laptops, as participants are encouraged to actively engage with the instruction. Refreshments will be provided.
