Advising for Student Growth and Development
 
This workshop will help faculty:
Use advising as a process to encourage student growth;
make a difference in the lives of students; develop self-sufficiency in your students.

Advising for Student Institutional Success
Academic preparation does not ensure student persistence; attitudes, motivation and a sense of belonging all play a role in student success.

Library Room 302 

This workshop will address:
How advising plays a key role in student retention; and 
the relationship between teaching and advising.

Converting an EndNote Database to RefWorks

Learn how to import an EndNote v.8 or higher library; how to import an EndNote v.7 or lower library; conversion issues; and troubleshooting problems.

RefAware

RefAware is a web-based current awareness service designed to provide researchers with immediate access to new research and publications in their field. During this Webinar, we’ll cover the basic features of RefAware.

RefWorks Advanced Features

This 75-minute session covers topics such as advanced searching, using RefGrab-It to import data, working offline, editing multiple references,viewing, printing and sorting references and more. Attendees should have a working knowledge of RefWorks’ basic features.

RefWorks Fundamentals

This 75 minute session covers all the basics – creating a RefWorks account, importing data, organizing your database and generating a bibliography. Great for new users or even existing users who would like a refresher.

RefWorks in 15 Minutes

While the ideal way to teach the basic features of RefWorks is to participate in a full training session, we realize that in some situations you may have only a few minutes to demonstrate the power of RefWorks. During this session, you’ll rapidly learn how to demonstrate: how to create an account; direct export citations from two databases; create a folder; create a bibliography from a list of citations; and create a bibliography using Write-N-Cite. Designed for people who will be conducting RefWorks training locally.

RefShare

This 60 minute session covers how to share your database or a folder of references, how to turn your shared folder or database into an RSS feed, how to view, search, print and export references from a shared folder or database and how to access and view a shared folder or database from a central web page. Attendees should have a basic knowledge of RefWorks functionality.

Write-N-Cite III for Windows

This 30-minute session introduces the latest update (version 3) to the Write-N-Cite utility in RefWorks. In this brief session we will discuss what’s new in Write-N-Cite III, how to install it, and how to use it to insert citations and create bibliographies in your documents – including while working offline. Attendees should have a basic knowledge of RefWorks functionality.
