Introduction to Interlibrary Loan
If you need books and journal articles; we can provide them. The Interlibrary Loan (ILL) staff can help you find materials outside of the UI Libraries’ collections. You can make these requests online and this session will teach you how.
* How to submit online requests
* How to track the status of the request
* How to view articles that have been posted on the web (link will be e-mailed to you)
Introduction to RefWorks
RefWorks is a web-based service that enables you to save bibliographic citations from the library catalog and other library databases. In this workshop you will learn to:
* Create a RefWorks account and access it from on- and off-campus
* Create, edit, and delete citations in RefWorks
* Organize your citations and share them with colleagues at UIowa and beyond
* Use RefWorks to easily create and format bibliographies
Librarians will show you how to use RefWorks, and then give you the opportunity to practice with it at the end of the workshop. Because there are a limited number of computers available, registration is required to attend.
