NotebookLM for Researchers

Researchers read widely and gather notes from all directions — that's part of doing thorough, curious work. The challenge is navigating all of that material when you need it, especially when you're deep in a project and connections between sources aren't easy to see. In this free 45-minute session, we'll look at exactly how to use NotebookLM — Google's free AI-powered research tool — to get a much clearer handle on your literature and find what you need, without having to re-read everything from scratch. No prior experience with AI tools needed.

Reclaiming Your Research Time

For most researchers, the problem isn't caring about their work — it's finding the time to actually do it, and finding it consistently, week after week, rather than watching it slowly get swallowed by everything else. We'll look at why research keeps losing the battle for your time and work through practical approaches to protecting it — not just in theory, but in the reality of a genuinely full week.

NVivo Showcase

There's a lot more to NVivo than initially meets the eye! In this webinar we'll be showcasing our favourite features of NVivo including matrix coding queries, explore and comparison diagrams, and mind-maps. This session is perfect for researchers who are new to NVivo, as well as those who are familiar with the basics and curious to know what else is possible.

NVivo for Literature Reviews

Reviewing the literature is an important part of the research process. Organising relevant papers and findings are more than just data entry or bibliographic tasks — you also need to be able to analyse and integrate this material with the qualitative data you are gathering. This one-hour demonstration will provide an overview of NVivo's functionality with regard to literature reviews. Importing and coding literature, running queries on published material, and working with bibliographic data in conjunction with your NVivo project will all be covered.

The Researcher's Guide to Digital Tools

New tools, new platforms, AI features being added to everything — keeping up with research technology can feel like a full-time job in itself. How do you know what is genuinely useful and what should be ignored, and how do you stay sane as you navigate technology changes? This session isn't a tool review. It's about helping you think more clearly about technology so you can make confident decisions about what's actually worth your time — and we'll use some of our favourite tools as examples along the way.
