Janet FransenEngineering Librarian
How do computer science researchers communicate
their results?
Remember…

What else do I do?

What else do I do?
• Consult on subject-specific questions– Not sure where to start a lit search?– Can’t track down an elusive citation?
• Consult on managing information– How to navigate copyright– How to add your papers to our
institutional repository (conservancy.umn.edu)
– How to keep current/organize what you collect
