As budding information professionals, we know how easy it is to get "overwhelmed" when transitioning into a new, information-rich environment. Come to this ASIS+T sponsored workshop/discussion to learn (and share) some simple, practical ways of coping with this challenge, particularly as new iSchool students. The main focus of this event will be technology-related tips, tricks, and troubleshooting.
