Spring 2009 Letter

Hello! This is Rebecca Knight at the Library. I want to remind everyone that I am the library liaison to the Human Development and Family Studies Department and the selector for materials related to those subject areas.

Due to the University’s budget concerns, we will not be ordering any materials until the new fiscal year. I will be glad to hear suggestions from you and hold on to them until the next order period.

You may use the Recommendation for Library Purchase form if you like.

Library Workshops

The Workshops for Spring 2009 include sessions on Citing with APA Style, Web of Science (citation database), RefWorks (bibliographic management system), research funding resources, and multimedia tools.

For the full schedule, see
Workshops for Spring 2009

Instruction Sessions

Contact me if you would like to schedule a library instruction session for yourself, your department, or your students. A one-hour presentation that describes the key indexes and databases for family topics will assist students in finding quality sources for their research projects. I will be happy to work with you to find a convenient time and location to meet with your class.

Library Web Resources for Human Development and Family Studies

The Resources for Human Development and Family Studies subject page includes research guides, Internet resources, selected Library databases, electronic journal subscriptions, and contact information.
It is also possible for me to prepare a webpage for a particular class if one is needed.

I hope your semester goes smoothly.  Contact me if I can be of assistance.

Regards,

Rebecca
