RefWorks is a tool for tracking the literature used in your research and assignments. This session, intended for beginning users, is a practical tutorial on use of the product. We’ll show you how to create and manage an account, import citations from research databases, and use the product to add references to your paper in the citation style of your choice.

The Ward Chipman Library opened in 1969 and was one of the first buildings to be constructed on the UNB Saint John Campus at Tucker Park.  In August 2011, the library moved across the campus from the Ward Chipman building into the new Hans W. Klohn Commons.

Spanish Embassy Film Series (sponsored by the Spanish Embassy and the UNB Department of Culture and Language Studies) presents the film “The Grandfather” (1998, Spain, directed by José Luis Garci).

This session is for faculty members who are new to RefWorks, as well as for current users who would like an introduction to the new RefWorks 2.0 interface. As well as getting hands-on practice in its use, participants will learn about ways RefWorks can be used for tasks such as managing course reading lists and collaborative building of bibliographies.

All UNB Fredericton faculty and staff members are invited to attend the Libraries’ showcase of resources and services.
