UVic Libraries is offering a *** NEW *** Pathways to Scholarship Workshop Series. It was created to provide institutional and mentoring support to promote the academic success of our scholars (particularly, but not exclusively, students, early career faculty, and post-docs).

Date and Time: January 22, 2020 between noon and 1:00 p.m.

Date and Time: February 5, 2020 between noon and 1:00 p.m.

In the workshop you will learn, through hands-on activities, about the important aspects of a publication agreement and strategies for protecting your intellectual property and education re-use rights.
Date and Time: February 26, 2020 between noon and 1:00 p.m.
