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.

• EndNote Fusion (formerly 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
• The first time you use EndNote Fusion, you will need to create an account. Use the “Create account” link on the EndNote login page to do this.
• Use the “Login from my institution” option to log in with your Allegheny account.
• Check out the playlist of RefWorks video tutorials on YouTube! Although they still refer to the product as RefWorks, these tips still work in EndNote Fusion.

NOTE: RefWorks has become EndNote Fusion. Allegheny users will still be able to log into EndNote Fusion the same way they used with RefWorks, and all your RefWorks content has been transferred automatically to EndNote Fusion.
