Lamont librarians are offering 50-minute basic training sessions in RefWorks (a web-based bibliographic management program that allows users with a Harvard ID and PIN to create a personal database of citations, abstracts, images, and other materials in electronic form, and to integrate these sources into bibliographies, articles, etc. written with Word and other word processors) on:

Research Guide Links for Liaison Departments


As the term approaches I thought it might be useful if I put together in one place a set of links to guides available for various of my departments/programs of liaison. So here they are:

Library Research Guide for the Center for Jewish Studies' Visiting Scholars and Starr Fellows,

Library Research Guide for the Center for Middle Eastern Studies,

East Asian Studies Research Guide,

Resources for Freshman Seminars,

and

Library Research Guide for Near Eastern Languages and Civilizations

These are general guides for introducing you to various resources in your research; most of the sources on them are electronic. I can also devise individual course research guides tailored to your specific course (for example, the Library Research Guide for AbĂ© Mark Nornes' Japanese Literature 160: The Pacific War Through Film), so please do get in touch with me if you’d like such a guide for your course.

At your service,
