If you have 15 minutes then you have time to get a quick introduction to a free information management tool called RefWorks.
RefWorks in 15 minutes will be offered online January 6, 12, 18 & 27th. Register here.
Similar to EndNote, RefWorks lets you search, organize and manage your references. Since it lives “in the cloud”, once you create your free account**, you can access it from any computer at any location.
Some things RefWorks can do:
- Format a paper or bibliography for you in the citation style you need.
- Instantly add references as you type a paper in MS Word
- Search PubMed (or another database) from within RefWorks
- Share references with other people
A live RefWorks class will be taught by local RefWorks expert Molly Knapp on Thursday, February 10th, 2011 from 10-11 am. Email mknapp@lsuhsc.edu for more information.
**RefWorks is available free to LSUHSC students, faculty and staff.
Are your library skills a little rusty? Come to one of our General Library Orientation classes and learn about the our resources, how to search the online catalog and PubMed, and how to request an Interlibrary Loan. The schedule is now posted for October-December. Contact Carolyn Bridgewater for more information.
Still not sure how to manage and write your bibliographies using Refworks? Look no further.
Introduction to RefWorks will be offered on Wednesday, September 29th from 2-3 pm in the Isch?® Library’s computer classroom (room 405).
If you cannot make this date, the class will be offered in the same location on Thursday, November 4th, 10-11 am.
Email Molly Knapp or call 568-6100 for more information. Drop ins are welcome.

Happy printing!
Color printing is now available on the 4th floor print station. Color printing costs 25 cents/page.

In the near future, you will be able to print both black and white AND color on the new printer on the 4th floor.
As of Feb. 1st, LSUHSC New Orleans is participating in EduRoam, a world-wide consortium of research and educational institutions.
Chancellor Hollier sent out an email on January 25th regarding this new initiative; he stated, “EduRoam is a secure, world-wide roaming access service developed for the international research and education community. EduRoam allows campus community members at any participating institution to use wireless network services at any other participating institution worldwide.” Our participation will make it easier for visiting students/researchers to use wireless access on campus, as well as allowing our researchers and students to have access as they travel. EduRoam is less than 2 years old and began in Europe. It is anticipated that membership will increas rapidly.
To use when you visit a participating educational/research institution:
ÔÇó Set up your computer to use a wireless network by selecting ÔÇ£eduroamÔÇØ from the list of available networks.
ÔÇó Logon as UserID@lsuhsc.edu, and give your current LSUHSC password.
EduRoam is a new iniative in the United States, but hopefully it will grow quickly. Check out their US map to see participating institutions.
Stat!Ref, an online textbook provider, now offers direct export to RefWorks, our bibliographic manager.
