This Friday from 10-11:30am, I’ll be doing a session on “Current Awareness Tools in the Arts“.

We’ll be looking at ways to use the research tools offered by our online resources to save yourself some valuable research time and keep-up-to-date. In this workshop you’ll learn how to use current awareness tools to:

- get notified when new articles and dissertations are published on your topic,
- get Table of Contents notifications when the latest issue of your favorite journal is published, and
- set up an RSS Reader for RSS feeds to alert you to new content in blogs, journals, databases, and newspapers.

You can register for the course here: http://toby.library.ubc.ca/booking/description.cfm?sessionid=6035

If you can’t make the session, we’ll be offering a repeat on Tuesday November 4th from 12:30-2:00 pm. Sign up for the November session here: http://toby.library.ubc.ca/booking/description.cfm?sessionid=6036

Both sessions will be held in the Koerner Lab on the second floor of Koerner Library.

Whether you’re majoring or minoring in Linguistics or just taking a single class, you’ll want to visit Koerner Library as that’s where you’ll find many of the Linguistics books and print journals, not to mention people who can help you with your research questions.
