EndNote Download site updated

University IT has updated the EndNote download site, on July 22, 2024. There are instructions for installing EndNote21 on your personal computer or on campus InTune computers. If you have an older campus computer, you may need to create a ticket with your local supporter. EndNote is now available for all faculty, staff and students thanks to an annual subscription courtesy of University IT.

The Libraries have created a Resource Guide to support EndNote, as well as RefWorks, an alternate citation manager.

New Citation Management LibGuide

The Libraries have created a new LibGuide covering citation manager software, such as EndNote and RefWorks. This new LibGuide also contains video tutorials and text guides on how to use EndNote and RefWorks. It also contains information on the process of installing EndNote to your PC, and signing up for a RefWorks account. The LibGuide can be found here: Citation Managers.

*Recarpeting: STAIRS 7/13*

*Edit* July 13, 2024 4:30pm Stairs are available for use.

The Isché Library stairs will be unavailable due to recarpeting the underside of the stairs, Saturday, July 13th.

The upper floors will still be accessible by using the Library’s internal elevator.

We are unsure of the amount of time needed to complete the task but it should be conclude by the end of the day.

As with the previous weeks, noise can be expected while the carpets are being installed.

We apologize for the inconvenience.

Comment Boxes for Feedback About the Libraries

The Libraries have put out comment boxes in the Libraries for faculty, staff, and students to share their comments, questions, suggestions, and concerns about the Libraries. We have them conveniently located in multiple places: the Library Commons, the 3rd, 4th, and 5th floors of the Isché Library, and at the front desk of the Dental Library. Comments can be submitted with the paper slip, or digitally by scanning the QR code. We would love to hear from you!

The Library Commons area with the television monitors will be closed tomorrow, June 28, 2024 for carpet replacement. The furniture will be moved out of those spaces into the tiled area, so there will be some noise while this is happening.

All the carpet is being replaced on the 3rd floor of the Isché Library. The work started yesterday, June 25, 2024. The work will take a couple of weeks to complete. But during that time library services may be interrupted. Poster printing has been offline since Monday evening. And there will be no popcorn tomorrow, June 27th. We apologize for the inconvenience.

Sections of the Library Commons will be unavailable while the carpet is being replaced in those areas. Stay tuned to hear when.
