Join us at the Drexel Library on Thursday of this week, during free period for an Information Fair extravaganza, complete with refreshments, give-aways, demos, and of course, information on new resources and tools that are bound to wow even the savviest of Library users. We’ll be showing you how to search across numerous databases at once with our new One Search system, how to create instant bibliographies with Refworks, and how to get the most out of the Library Toolkits and the Library building itself. Come with general questions you might have about the resources as well, we’ll be happy to answer them! We hope to see you there!

As you polish those final papers, the thought of producing that pesky bibliography might be lingering in the back of your mind as a major chore still awaiting you.  But it doesn’t have to be so tedious!  Try out Refworks, the library’s new citation management system.  Set up a free account (under the FYI heading on the library’s homepage), input references manually or automatically import citations from our databases, and produce a bibliography in just about any major citation style (MLA, APA, Chicago, etc.).

A warning to all of you eager users, though: just because it creates instant bibliographies doesn’t mean they are always perfect.  Proofread the bibliography a couple of times – make sure that all the information needed is included (and in the right place!) in each citation.  It’ll still save you lots of time in the long run!
