This five-day email challenge will set you up for success with your research this semester. Each day from Monday September 28-Friday October 2 you'll get a short message from the library with a few actions you can take now to lay the groundwork for the rest of the semester. During the five days, you'll learn more about how to:
work with librarians to support your research
access library resources
manage your files and citations
build your online scholarly identity
The Digital Design Studio (DDS) is switching up a few of our services and we wanted to make sure you are the first to know!
The large, wooden built-in desk on the third floor is the Digital Design Studio's new home to check-in for recording room appointments, print appointments, returning media production equipment, and getting any of your design and media questions answered!
Podcasts can be a way of engaging public audiences with your research interests. During this workshop, we’ll help you to conceptualize podcasting as a form of public scholarship, and walk through the process of starting a podcast. After this orientation, you will know:
Zotero is a tool to help you organize your research, especially your literature review materials. In this workshop you will learn how to use Zotero to collect and organize resources and to automatically format citations for your project.
Please download Zotero and make an account with your Tufts email (or add your Tufts email to your account) before coming to the workshop.
In this workshop, we will discuss best practices for graduate research, some of our favorite resources for research, including citation management and how to access resources beyond Tufts' libraries.
Please bring a laptop or tablet to the workshop.

For this class, students explore ethnographic field research from a decolonial framework. In a workshop in the Digital Design Studio, students learn audio recording techniques and interrogate the relationship between recording and representation of a community as a researcher. In what ways does recording sound/music enhance representation of the community over writing about it? In what ways do researchers have to make choices that impact the representation, such as microphone placement or directionality?
