  Come explore Omni, our new academic search tool. All students, staff, and faculty are invited to attend one of three hands-on workshops this month.

  Learn to:

  • discover collections at Brock and the 13 other partner institutions.
  • refine search results by availability, resource type, focused subjects, library collection, and more.
  • browse a virtual bookshelf using Virtual Browse.
  • follow citations from references within an article, and those that cite it.
  • pin, collate, and tag materials in your ‘favourites’ file for easy retrieval.
  • cite, email, and export to a citation tool to manage your information.

  You are welcome to just drop-in to a session however, students will earn CWC credit if they register first on ExperienceBU

• How are you managing citations? Share your feedback

  Wednesday, November 13, 2019 | By Evelyn Smith

  

  Are you struggling with citations? Or do you have a great system for managing all your references for essays or scholarly papers?

  We want to hear about it! Please take a few moments to answer a short Library survey on citation management, which refers to the use of systems or software to store and organize references and format in-text citations and bibliographies. Results from the survey will be used to help the Library develop a strategy to support users’ citation management needs. Your responses will be anonymous.

  Anyone at Brock can respond. Survey participants can enter a draw for one of two $25 Brock cards.

  The survey closes Dec. 6 at 5 pm.

  Questions? Contact Elizabeth Yates, Liaison and Scholarly Communication Librarian at [email protected] or x4469
