The Winter 2007 schedule for the Faculty of Arts Student Workshop series is out. Sessions include:
Getting Started at the UBC Library
If you’re new to UBC or just wanting a refresher, come join us for an overview of the UBC Library and our web sites. Learn about the resources & services available to you, whether you’re in the library, at the office, or doing research from home. This introductory class includes an orientation to the Catalogue, ejournals, indexes, subject guides, and the chat reference service AskAway
Google Scholar and More: All Articles All the Time!
You know that lots of journals and magazines are published on the web. But where? This workshop will show you where to look — whether you’re starting with a bibliography, an author’s name, a topic, or just an idea.
RefWorks is a web-based citation management tool, sponsored by the UBC Library, and available free-of-charge to current UBC faculty, staff, and students.
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 online for any of these free workshops at the UBC Library Instruction Calendar. (Click the session you want to attend to get to the registration form.)
Sponsored by UBC Library, and supported in part by funding from the office of the Dean of Arts.
