Research+Roadmaps

Research roadmaps are a part of the NJIT library workshops. Students, Faculty, Staff and Administration have access to these workshops and are welcome to take them. These workshops help attendees learn how to find, evaluate, and use information from the library's digital and print collections. They are given repeatedly throughout the fall and spring semesters. Teachers can assign, and students can take, as many of these workshops as they wish.
