Important notes about registering:
(back to schedule)
1. Due to the "hands-on" nature of the workshops we can not accept your
personal laptop as means of performing the exercises. We can not take time to
investigate the reason why your laptop behaves different then explained in the
lesson.
2. Due to the limited time allocated to each workshop, the instructor will
not be able to address issues with your existing paper or research project.
Reserve those questions for future Q&A sessions.
3. We encourage you to sign up early, due to limited seating availability.
4. Our workshops have a minimum attendance rule. Workshops will be canceled
if minimum attendance is not met. We will email registrants a cancellation note.
Acknowledging the cancellation note is the registrant's responsibility!
DISCLAIMER
The Library may choose to cancel any workshop at any time with or without
prior notice. The Library is not liable in any way for the inconvenience a
