Too Noisy in the Library?

There are three pair of noise reduction headsets now available in the Library for students who find Upjohn Library Commons a bit noisy for quiet study. Just ask for them at the circulation desk, and you can check them out for four hours!

Please be courteous to your fellow students! Library policies on unacceptable behavior (including loud conversations that disturb others) are available on the Library website:

New Service: EndNote Web

As part of our subscription to ISI Web of Knowledge, the library is able to offer users access to EndNote Web, a web-based tool for managing and citing references in papers and creating bibliographies. Users have the ability to save, manage and format up to 10,000 citations.

The first time they log on, users will need to register for an account, which will allow them access to their EndNote Web account from any computer. References found in one of the ISI Web of Knowledge databases may be saved instantly by clicking on the "Save to My EndNote Web" button. References from other databases may also be added.

A brief, very useful tutorial to getting started and using EndNote Web can be found here.
