RefWorks

The Hatfield library has added RefWorks to its list of research tools.

RefWorks is a web-based bibliography management and citation tool. It is designed to help researchers easily gather, manage, store and share all types of information, as well as generate citations and bibliographies. It converts to hundreds of citation formates quickly and easily.

RefWorks allows users to access their citations from any Web-connected source. References can be imported & exported from various resources, such as EndNote or generic Web sites, or can be entered manually. Tutorials are available in print or electronic (video) forms.

Questions about RefWorks? Contact librarian John Repplinger.

Video Collection Moved

During the summer, the Hatfield library moved its video/DVD collection to the first floor, near the current periodicals. All films are now shelved in this space.

The current periodicals and newspapers are still located there as well.

New Computers

Over the summer, WITS was able to upgrade all 34 public access computers in the Hatfield Library. The new Gateway E-4610 computers are a major upgrade from the computers previously available.

The computers offer users the entire Adobe Suite -- including Acrobat, Photoshop, and Dreamweaver -- as well as Microsoft Office products and Open Office productsl.

The library is also running all of the printing from the new workstations through the campus WebPrint program.
