Announcements

RefWorks is a web-based bibliography and database manager that allows users to create their own personal database by importing references from text files or online databases. These references can be used in writing bibliographies for papers and automatically format the paper and the bibliography in seconds. Various writing styles are accommodated.

RefWorks is funded by the Student, and is made possible by the Office of Information Technology (helpdesk@uta.edu; x22208) and the UTA Libraries (library-ref@uta.edu; x23394). For more information about RefWorks, visit their Website: www.refworks.com.

Library Instruction Sessions

If you plan to attend conferences or seminars during the summer and you are also teaching classes during this time, consider asking me to come give your class or research group an instruction session on using the various research databases specific to their disciplines.  This is an ideal way of enhancing the students research skills and giving me an opportunity to become a visible librarian in your class.  Click here to see what the options are.  If you require a different approach or venue, please email me.
