This was a great review and would serve as a brilliant introduction to the GPS for those who find the whole thing a bit scary. Shannon is always a superb, as usual, this was clear, concise and well paced with excellent examples and resources. Loved the reminder of reading all the sources used by other researchers in a location.
Shannon gave an excellet presentation as always! One of my favorite tips was how she learned to excel in Connecticut research by reading the FOOTNOTES of 5 years of journals. Then she focused on being an expert in all of those sources. Great tip!
Well chosen material, excellent examples and very clear presentation. In my mind the material was invaluable.
What a valuable presentation! Definitely will be one that I watch again and again. Thank you!
