Learn to Use RefWorks: Hands-On Workshops

Are you having trouble keeping track of journal articles, books, Web sites, and other resources you've found while doing research for a paper? Get to know RefWorks, a Web-based personal database provided by the BC Libraries that lets you collect and organize citations and access them from any computer with a Web connection.

You can save references directly from Communication Abstracts, Communication & Mass Media Complete and other databases. RefWorks will even generate a bibliography of references, using APA, MLA, or another format that you select.

I'll be offering hands-on workshops on RefWorks several times this semester, beginning with three sessions this week and next. Here are the dates and times. (All sessions are in O'Neill 105):

Thursday, October 4th - 10 am
Thursday, October 11th - 4 pm
Friday, October 12th - 10 am

Space is limited to 10 per session. I don't expect to fill them all up, but let me know if you're planning to attend at one of these times.
