Research is more than knowing resources: more importantly, it's knowing how to ask a question. 

This 2 hour course will examine tax research from three perspectives: how to find it (Boolean), where to find, and how AI impacts it all. We will examine AI from a prompt engineering standpoint, as well the ethical and environmental implications .

All registrants must take a pre-test for this course.

1. Discuss best practices for researching, including finding where to search and Boolean search strings

2. Review best researching areas and how to read what you find 

3. Discuss AI and how it has changed the research landscape
