Ariadne regularly offers research trainings on topics and perspectives in women’s and gender studies – as part of the program of the Centre for Information and Media Literacy at the Austrian National Library.
The focus lies on thematic insights, search strategies and confident use of the library catalogue, web portals and subject-specific databases – as well as access to literature and sources: from historical collections to current academic research, both online and on site.
Whether you’re just getting started or looking for deeper insights: our trainings are designed for anyone interested in focused research, thematic exploration, or learning how to use tools for feminist, gender, and women’s studies research.
Please note: All sessions are held in German.
You’re looking for literature on a specific topic or want to learn how to find women’s and gender-related content in the collections of the Austrian National Library?
