November Presentations at Gumberg Library

November 12 – Citation Management Software Sampler, 1-2:30p.m., 202 Gumberg

Presenters: Leslie Lewis, Emily Cantin, and Maureen Diana Sasso (Gumberg Library)

Citation management software can save you time, help you keep your research organized, and sometimes even help you connect with others who have similar research interests.  There are many citation managers available, either free or for a fee, each with its own strengths. This presentation will demonstrate four of the most widely used citation managers and help you decide which would best meet your needs. This is not a hands-on training session, but will review the basic features of RefWorks, Mendeley, Zotero, and EasyBib and the audience for each.

November 15 -- Copyright Essentials at Duquesne, 1-2p.m., 408 Gumberg

Presenters: John Euliano, Shawn Klocek (Gumberg Library) and Susan Wadsworth-Booth (Director, Duquesne University Press)

A fundamental understanding of copyright is essential for both teaching and research. This 60-minute presentation will introduce Duquesne’s copyright policy and fair use guidelines. The presentation will also provide practical tips for posting course reserves material and for obtaining and using material in teaching and scholarship, including an overview of the recent Georgia State e-reserves case.
