RefWorks sessions in Lamont . . . and a reminder

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. ..................................................................................................................... **The Visiting Committee Prize for Undergraduate Book Collecting** Declare your intent to apply by Friday.
