In this workshop, you will learn how to use the information created and disseminated by international organizations to support your own learning and research. International organizations— Intergovernmental organizations (IGOs) and non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and think tanks— often share reports and data related to specific policy areas of global or regional importance.

You will learn:

• the difference between types of organizations
• why these organizations come together and what types of information they produce, and
• how to identify an organization as a source for your own research.

IGO and NGO research can be useful for many disciplines and is especially relevant to research dealing with policy, international relations, or global issues.
