WRTG 316 Advanced Writing: Workshop Registration

Library Workshop Information

As a Writing 316 student, you are invited to attend a library workshop with a subject librarian who has expertise in the subject area of your research topic. Later this semester, you will have an assignment to synthesize research on a topic of your choice. This workshop will teach you how to find the research for that assignment. Workshops are 50 minutes long.

Below are the steps for successfully attending a library workshop for your advanced writing class. Notice the dates for registering, receiving email, and attending.

If you have questions at any time, please contact us at library_instruction@byu.edu.

Step 1: Register

Registration is open September 4th to September 22nd.  Register for your workshop here. You will then be scheduled with a subject librarian based on the major you select and the available times you indicate.​​​​​​

A NOTE ABOUT YOUR MAJOR: The registration page will ask for your major. You will be assigned a subject librarian based on which major you select in the dropdown menu. Before you do so, consider the following:

  1. If your paper topic and your declared major are in the same field of study, select your declared major.
  2. If your paper topic and your major are in different fields, and you would prefer library instruction that will help with your paper topic, select a major that aligns with your topic rather than with your declared major. 
  3. If your paper topic and your major are in different fields, and you would prefer library instruction in your declared major, select your major.

Step 2: Check Email

On Friday, September 27th, you will receive a notification email at your BYU student Outlook account (@byu.edu) with your workshop assignment and details on how to attend. 

If a workshop could not be scheduled during the available times you indicated when you registered, you will instead receive a notification email with a link where you can choose an already-scheduled workshop or schedule a 1-1 session with a subject librarian.

If you need to change the major you selected so you can meet with a librarian in a different field, please email us as soon as possible at library_instruction@byu.edu.

To access your student @byu.edu account, do the following:

  1. Open the browser and navigate to outlook.byu.edu.
  2. Sign in with your NetID@byu.edu. 
  3. Type in your NetID password and then respond to the Duo prompt.

If you registered and did not receive any notification email at your student @byu.edu account, please email us at library_instruction@byu.edu.

 

Step 3: Attend

Workshops will be held September 30th to October 18th.

If you cannot attend the workshop you were scheduled for, have no fear! Your notification email has instructions on how to choose a different workshop time or how to schedule a 1-1 visit with the subject librarian. Do this as soon as possible.

If you missed your originally assigned workshop, you will receive an email notification with instructions on how to choose a different workshop time or how to schedule a 1-1 visit with the subject librarian. Do this as soon as possible.

If you did not register by September 22nd , you can still sign up for a scheduled workshop by going to instruction.lib.byu.edu on or after September 27th. We recommend you don't wait to sign up; some workshops are held earlier in the workshop period than others.
