This guide was created by Celia Brinkerhoff for Kwantlen Polytechnic University Library.
The library would like to understand how our students are using, or plan to use, AI chatbots in research for their assignments, so we've created this survey to hear from you.
AI chatbots such as ChatGPT, Copilot, Perplexity and others can help students at various stages of the research process, within guidelines set by their instructors and KPU's own policy on Academic Integrity.
This survey will enable the library to better meet the needs of those students using, or planning on using, AI chatbots for their academic work.

Questions about the survey? Please contact Celia Brinkerhoff or Caja Blomley.
On this guide, you'll find resources to help you with your research and assignments in Brewing and Brewery Operations. You'll also find some useful strategies and tips for improving your search and evaluating the sources you find, as well as how to approach writing in the sciences.
Feel free to contact me with any questions or if you need help finding information. Use the email link below my picture on the left.
