OMG. This is the best webinar ever! I Couldn't take notes fast enough there was so much information.
Webinar was ineresting and communicated very clearly
The only thing missing was a checklist but the thought-process to get to the information is truly that of a research librarian. Outstanding presentation!
Lots of information about resources with which I was not familiar. Also, gave great framework for conducting research and outside factors to consider. All of her presentations were excellent!
