Need to get reacquainted with the library after years of being away? Come to the “Back to Basics: Library Skills for Returning Students” session on Thursday Nov 16 from 12:00 noon – 2:00 pm in Koerner Library.
You’ll learn the basics of doing library research in an electronic world from finding books in the library catalogue to searching and accessing articles online. There will be lots of opportunities for hands-on practice and questions. This session will be most helpful for returning students in the Humanities and Social Sciences, but all are welcome.
Interested? Sign up here! (And check out the Library Instruction calendar for more offerings throughout the year.)

Overwhelmed by information? Tomorrow in Koerner Rm 217, Sally Taylor and I will be presenting a session on “Current Awareness Tools” to help you keep up-to-date with information. We’ll look at a variety of current awareness tools you can use to keep up-to-date in specific or interdisciplinary fields of research. Come and learn how to set up profiles and searches on various bibliographic databases, free table of contents websites and the latest news from Web search engines, and news services.
This session is part of the Grad Students Workshop series. Register online or drop by room 217 at 9:30 am.

UBC Library has a new interface for its journal collection, via a product called Serials Solutions. When you search for an ejournal, you’ll notice a slightly different look. The benefit? The new interface will link you to both the print and electronic holdings of the journal. It will also tell you in which database the journal can be found.
Questions and comments welcomed, via this form, or contact me and I will forward your feedback.
