Dear Mercer Faculty,

Tarver Library is preparing to launch a series of brief, interactive A-Z e-journals Locator / RefWorks Instructional Workshops. The workshops, taught throughout the month of November, offer continuing education for those of you seeking to understand how to best utilize our online journal collection, select resources relevant to your research and teaching needs, and efficiently manage citations.

Each workshop will consist of two 30-minute modules. Module I will focus on the Tarver Library page with emphasis on searching print vs. electronic journals followed by a closer look at the A-Z Journal Locator tool. To facilitate the discussion, sample searches will be performed using some major titles in your field.

Module II is designed to highlight the essential features and capabilities of RefWorks citation management software, including importing your search results to create ready-to-use bibliographic citations.

There will be a 5-10 minute break between the modules. You may choose to attend either part of the presentation based on your particular interest and familiarity with the material.

Please mark your calendars for any of the times suggested above. If you would like to schedule an individual session, do not hesitate to contact us:

Stan Trembach at trembach_sa@mercer.edu; x5334
OR Liya Deng at deng_l@mercer.edu; x2934.

We will do our best to accommodate your requests.

Thank you and we look forward to working with you!
