Literature research
Workshop for literature research with AI
The library would like to support you in the use of new technologies and tools for literature research and is planning two workshop dates in May: On 6 May in Lingen and on 13 May in Westerberg, we will be looking at different literature research programmes. Based on your research questions, we will look at what possibilities chatbots such as HAWKI offer and where their limits lie, what distinguishes Elicit or Consensus from a discovery system, or what help tools such as ResearchRabbit can offer when researching using known sources. The workshop dates are primarily aimed at students, but are also open to all other members of the university.
