Library

Librarians will work with faculty to prepare classroom sessions designed to help students develop and reinforce both information literacy and research skills. Presentations are tailored to each course’s level and subject matter.Ideally, faculty should schedule sessions with Research Instruction Services as they prepare their syllabi. This provides the librarians with ample time to prepare an appropriate session.

For librarian presentations, the Pelletier classroom is available for classes of up to 15 students, or the librarian can visit the classroom in person.

RefWorks is a useful way to manage the references and citations you use in your research. Use it to:

• track which books, articles, and media you find useful
• take notes about the references you’re using
• generate citations and bibliographies in the citation style your professor requires
• connect with the Google Docs add-on to manage citations and bibliographies right in your paper or presentation

NOTE: The first time you use RefWorks, you will need to create a RefWorks account. Use the “Create account” link on the RefWorks login page to do this.
