The Library in your Course: Integration of the Research Process in your Curriculum
Lorrie Evans, Auraria Library will bring library resources, services and people into your course. We all know that research is a process that involves critical thinking and engagement with information over time.  While well intentioned, the term paper assignment can often fall short of providing the learning experience we had hoped for. We will explore the many and varied options you have to incorporate “library research” more intuitively, through services such as the Integrated Course Librarian, embedded IM chat widget, and collaboration with a librarian on research assignments.

EndNote-Citation Management Software
Organizing your references has never been easier. Learn how you can collect and organize references, store article pdf files and write manuscripts in the specific style you need to use.  This hands-on workshop will feature both the EndNote desktop software and online versions.  Don’t wait to make learning “citation management software” a resolution for next year!  We’ll have computers with all the software installed, but if you prefer to bring your own, that works too.
