Library Workshop Goals
Welcome! Use this LibGuide in your Film, Gender, & Sexuality class to help you:
- Find and establish evidence for your conference essay
- Distinguish between primary, secondary, and tertiary sources
- Locate primary sources for your research topics
I also recommend exploring "How to Learn Remotely with the Library" (to the left) to get familiar with all of our online services and resources offered not only this Summer quarter, but always!
