Could your research skills use some honing? The Dal Libraries are presenting two workshop sessions about being an efficient user of library  databases and one about RefWorks, a tool that helps you sort your sources and creates a bibliography for you. Work smarter, not harder.

Becoming an effective & efficient user of library databases

Monday, February 18/2-3:30 p.m.

Friday, February 22/11 a.m.-12:30 p.m.

Location: Room G70, ground floor, North Learning Commons, Killam Library

Finding journal articles and books can be a confusing process. In this session, we’ll help you find your way through the research databases and journals available at Dalhousie Libraries. Topics include: choosing and refining your topic, choosing which library database is right for your research paper, understanding why “peer-reviewed” articles are so important and getting articles delivered right to your desktop (or laptop). This session will help you find your path to research success and become efficient library researcher. To register, contact: clrichar@dal.ca

 

Managing & organizing your literature (RefWorks)

Do you need a system for managing and organizing your literature? This session will teach you how to use RefWorks, an online tool designed to help you easily gather, manage, store and share all types of information, as well as generate citations and bibliographies.
