Library of Congress In-Person Research Sessions
Are you working on research for a book? Mid-Atlantic SCBWI is offering research support through the Library of Congress. Registration includes a Zoom introduction session and an in-person research time at the Library of Congress Science & Business Reading Room.
Cost: FREE
Step 1: Attend Zoom Session June 14 at 7:00pm (also available by replay)
The Zoom session with Nanette Gibbs, Business, Reference, and Research Specialist, will provide an introduction to research at the Library of Congress. She will also give instructions for ordering your materials for in-person research at the LOC. You can watch live and have the opportunity to ask questions. A recording will be provided if you can’t attend live.
Step 2: Prepare for the in-person research session on your own.
After the Zoom session and before you come to the LOC for research in July, you will need to do two things:
-
Preregister for your readers card BEFORE going in person.
-
Go to the Library of Congress in person to get your readers card. You can find out more about their hours and locations here.
-
About a week before you come to your in-person research session, you will need to request any materials you wish to use while you are there. Many items are stored off site and require 24 hours to obtain them.
Step 3: Register for an In-Person Research session at the Library of Congress (sign up separately)
Choose from three in-person work sessions.
