Session Descriptions

Advanced RefWorks

After attending “Getting Started With RefWorks,” come learn more about additional features, adding in-text citations and footnotes with Write-n-Cite, and how to format a paper and bibliography from within RefWorks.

Documenting the Impact of Your Scholarhip

This workshop is designed to help faculty members applying for promotion and tenure to make the case for excellence in scholarship by using tools such as citation analysis, journal metrics, and other methods. Newer faculty who are just starting to publish can also benefit by using these tools to develop effective publishing strategies. Details about the workshop and useful guides can be found here.

Getting Started with RefWorks

Keep track of your research and create bibliographies with RefWorks, an online bibliographic management tool that is FREE to all Duquesne users. We'll show you how to create an account, create and import references, and generate a bibliography.

Google Scholar

This session will focus on how to use Google Scholar as a supplement to library research through a demonstration of advanced search features. Participants will learn how to make their searching more precise and how to set up access to Duquesne’s resources through Google Scholar at home. We will also discuss some advantages and disadvantages of using Google Scholar for academic research.

Introducing ebrary

With over 70,000 full-text electronic books, ebrary can be a powerful tool for teachers and researchers alike. The session “Introducing ebrary” will demonstrate how to get the most out of ebrary whether you are using a personal computer, ipad, or personal e-reader.
