We know research can be intimidating and Chat GPT seems like the answer to finding sources and writing papers. However, it is important to know that these AI text generators frequently include factual errors, misinterpretations of concepts, and fabricated citations. They should be used with caution.
But the Founders Learning Commons (FLC) is here to help! Located on the first floor of Founders Memorial Library, the FLC is where you can access services, resources, and spaces to support your success.
Our subject-specialist librarians can help you access and use resources for your research. They can help with questions like: how do I find peer-reviewed research for my topic? How can I determine whether or not information online is reliable? And, how do I find a specific book in the library? Get help in person at the Research Help Desk or via the virtual chat on the library’s home page.
The Huskie Academic Support Center provides tutoring sessions, writing assistance, and academic skills development. University Writing Center staff can help you with your academic papers and presentations for courses as well as career-related documents, such as resumes and cover letters. Book a tutoring session (for in-person or virtual) by following the instructions on their website.
Finally, remember that academic integrity is an important part of the educational process. Learning to research and write, despite the challenges that come with the process, will make you a stronger student. Also, be sure to check your syllabus and/or talk with your instructor to find out the course policy on using AI text generators.
