This fall’s McGoogan Sessions offer three distinct opportunities to grow your research skills and add tools for your academic work belt. McGoogan librarians will guide you through the following hour-long courses, providing practical tips and important context.
EndNote: Basic to Advanced Features
Tuesday, Oct. 6 / Noon to 1 p.m.
This session will cover the citation and reference management tool from A to Z, both for newcomers and users looking to brush up. Discover how to add and organize your citations, as well as integrate EndNote within Microsoft Word to make in-text citations and build bibliographies. Taught by Danielle Westmark.
Introduction to Zotero
Thursday, Oct. 8 / Noon to 1 p.m.
