Writing an effective abstract is challenging as it must summarize an entire document succinctly while also incorporating the right keywords to help other professionals locate it and identify its purpose. In this hands-on workshop, participants will learn about and draft an abstract that uses a clear organizational structure; then, they will identify and incorporate the keywords that belong in each section. This workshop is a partnership between the HASC Writing Center and University Libraries; for more information, contact abartelt1@niu.edu.
