Classes

Dental Library to teach two classes this week

Two classes on important library resources will be taught this week:

Thursday, March 26, Finding Electronic Journal Articles (Liz Strother)
Learn how to use library resources for locating free electronic journal articles.

Friday, March 27, PubMed Basics (Julie Schiavo)
Introduction to searching PubMed, the premier database from the National Library of Medicine, for dental/biomedical information. Tips for refining your searches and managing results will also be taught.

Both classes will be held at noon in the Dental Library conference room. Please call 941-8158 or email dentlib@lsuhsc.edu to reserve a seat.

RefWorks in 15 Minutes

Need a refresher or want to learn more about REFWORKS (our premier bibliographic management tool), but don’t have the time? REFWORKS IN 15 MINUTES is an online class designed just for you! Dates and times are below.

RefWorks in 15 Minutes
While the ideal way to teach users the basic features of RefWorks is to conduct 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 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.
