Study Tip of the Week
Planning for J-Term Thesis Writing
Study Spaces & Advice during J-Term
The Bureau of Study Council has special hours for thesis writers during J-Term. The BSC
also offers many workshops aimed at thesis writers, including on time management and how
to stay accountable. Find a list of their workshops on their website.
If you are struggling with a project, consider reaching out to a subject-specific
reference librarian. These librarians are well-versed in a field, and can offer advice on
how to find new resources and can be helpful to talk to when thinking about your research!
You can request a research consult
(
https://harvard.az1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_5vY47R1IAq8Uhgh) with a librarian online,
or contact a specific librarian through the staff directory
(
https://emeritus.library.harvard.edu/staff-directory) .
Using Citation Software for Your Thesis
When you’re writing a thesis, it can be hard to keep track of all the sources that you
look at. Luckily, citation management tools offer a way to keep track of all your
resources.
One popular citation tool is Zotero, which includes free unlimited cloud storage when you
sign up using a Harvard email address. Zotero connects to Microsoft Word. For more
information, check out the Zotero Research Guide
(
https://guides.library.harvard.edu/zotero?hs=a) available through the Harvard Library.
