Temple University Libraries is proud to present an informative session designed to assist researchers with managing their citations. It’s “Citations Without Tears”.
Save time on your papers, and throw out all those long citation guides. Learn to use RefWorks, a web based application (free to Temple students!) that allows you to easily and quickly gather your citations and organize them for the creation of bibliographies and in- text citations in almost any format APA, MLA, Chicago, and more.
Note: This session will include hands-on learning in the use of RefWorks.

Temple Libraries is proud to present “To Google or Not to Google”, an informative session that discusses the pros and cons of using the world’s largest search engine.
Google provides fast but often ineffective results. Will you really impress your professor by citing a Wikipedia article as a source for a research paper? In this session a Temple University Librarian will discuss the pros and cons of using Google for academic research. Discover how to just as quickly access more appropriate sources without over relying on Google. This session will cover a new open source Wiki alternative, as well as some of the more traditional reference tools that have been digitized for easy web access.
Location: TECH Center 205-A
Time: 1-2 PM
Dates: 10/1, 10/7
