1. RefWorks: learn it from the experts on November 29, 2007
2. Undergraduate Book Collecting Prize
...................................................................................................................................
Workshop Announcement: * **RefWorks in Thirty Minutes or Less***
Interested in getting lightning-fast instruction on setting up a
RefWorks account and using it effectively?
This week, Lamont Librarians will host 2 workshops, each 30 minutes
long, to introduce students to this new product. RefWorks is software
which helps you gather and manage the references you use in research
projects and papers. RefWorks can take away the mystery -- and much of
the misery -- of figuring out the rules for in-text citations, endnotes,
and bibliographies. It's worth a test drive!
When: Wednesday, November 29, 2:00pm OR 3 p.m.
Where: Larsen Room, Lamont Library
Who: Steve Kuehler and Chris Lenney, Lamont Reference Librarians, will
lead these workshops.
**No RSVP necessary **-- just come by at one of the times above! Bring
your own laptop to the session, if you'd like, or work on a computer in
our Larsen Room.
