You’ve likely heard about RefWorks, the online citation management tool that allows you to save references for your research paper from online databases such as Linguistics and Language Behavior Abstracts and Google Scholar, and then formats your paper in the citation style of your choice. Perhaps you’ve had a chance to get started with RefWorks, but need some help in using its many features.

Today is your chance to find out more! Come to Koerner Library for a RefWorks session from 1:30-3:30pm.

In this hands-on workshop you will create your own personal database in RefWorks, learn how to add references, and use these references when writing a paper, automatically formatting your footnotes and bibliography in the citation style of your choice.

Register for the session here.

This Thursday, I’ll be teaching a session on tools that you can use to stay up-to-date with research in your field. We’ll look at how you can get the latest Table of Contents for your favourite journals emailed to you, how to get updates on new publications in your area of research, and how to use RSS feeds:
