ENVIR ST 717 Seminar (Fall 2025; Spring 2026) : Your Professional Development

We offer free workshops on many topics through the libraries. Learn to use citation managers, stay up to date on literature, deep dive into PubMed, and more. 

Visit our list of upcoming workshops, and add to your calendar. 

Congratulations future alumnus!  Our staff looks forward to wishing you the best and hopes that your time with us was well-spent. With this page of your guide, we look to acquaint you with your options for finding and retrieving the information you will need as informed citizens and professionals.

In some instances, you may work for an academic institution, agency, or business that has its own library or subscribes to specialized databases. Wherever you go, acquaint yourself, too, with your local public and academic libraries where you may be able to visit and to access many of their resources in-house and online.

As a public university and in keeping with its commitment to public service, our UW-Madison campus libraries welcome their larger community of researchers, and the general public, to visit. Many of our peer institutions, too, extend that welcome.

Many states provide similar online services for their residents. By way of example (or your future destination), take a look at these links to our neighboring states’ library services: Minnesota, Iowa, Illinois and Michigan.

See also our list to openly-accessible online resources including library catalogs, digital collections, article databases (popular and scholarly), government information, Extension publications, and more.

Our campus affords many opportunities to prepare for one's career. Our library staff encourages you to explore the Graduate School's Professional Development pages for links to online modules and in-person workshops. Craft an Individual Development Plan (IDP), build skills in project management, register for career events on campus, and more!
