Tips and skills classes in Driscoll

Barbara and Robin will periodically offer short sessions on RefWorks, EndNote, PubMed,  journal alert services, and other useful resources. Watch for announcements on the blog as well as on the Driscoll announcements screen.

Announcing the APA 6th edition

Keep in style with these APA 6th ed. resources:

  • –APA even has its own blog! Post questions and read more about APA style.
  • –RefWorks has already updated its software. Access RefWorks at the library homepage. Under “Databases, A-Z ” choose RefWorks.

To install EndNote on an off-campus computer, come to the Falvey front desk and borrow a CD to take home for 3 days.
