What grad students wish they knew about the library sooner: a Tisch Library information session

This session will be held virtually. Please register for the event to receive the Zoom link.

Join Tisch Library staff for an introduction to library services and how we can work together during your time at Tufts, and for time to ask us questions. We’ll be highlighting things that grad students told us in previous surveys that they wished they knew about the library earlier in their time at Tufts, to ensure you know about them from the very beginning!

Changes to selected Gale databases

Posted: Fri, Jun 13th 2025

We will lose access to some resources that we received for free through the state as of June 30th due to funding cuts associated with the dissolution of the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS).

We anticipate little impact to the Tufts community as most of these resources received little use here. They are more geared towards a high school student population, and are highly duplicative of other resources we already have.

Writing your NSF Data Management and Sharing Plan

Applying for NSF funding? Join Tisch Library for a Zoom workshop on NSF Data Management and Sharing Plans.

All NSF proposals must include a two-page Data Management and Sharing Plan (DMSP), outlining how your research data will be managed, shared, and preserved. This workshop will cover the general NSF guidelines for writing a DMSP, directorate/division-specific guidance, and how to use DMPTool to find DMSP templates. We’ll discuss your options for meeting NSF data sharing requirements, as well as best practices that can enhance your plan.

Illustrator Improv

Join us for snacks and a relaxing, playful exploration of Adobe Illustrator. Illustrator is a vector-based 2D design program used for graphic design, typesetting, and (unsurprisingly) illustration, but it’s not a typical “drawing” program like you might be familiar with if you’ve used Photoshop or ProCreate. This event will help you understand how to start developing a visual language by experimenting with shape, color, and scale with a focus on exploration and process more than product. There is no previous experience with Illustrator required.
