Librarian-led learning sessions (offered in-person, online, and through asynchronous videos) give you hands-on experiences in finding academic information.
You'll participate in one of these experiences once you've worked through the online instructional module for WRT 1060.

This tool is a Google Form that's only available with an OU-provided Gmail account -- please make sure to be logged into your OU email before opening this link. Once you complete and submit the form, you'll receive a copy of your notes emailed to you.
