This workshop is intended to help you jump start 
your academic job search. Advance registration

academic job market in fall 2006 (for a position 
starting fall 2007), this program can help you 
determine how to prepare your CV and provide you 
with some tips on the etiquette of seeking 
recommendation letters from faculty. Bring 3 
copies of your CV or draft for a peer critiquing 
exercise.

We hope you will still be able to attend. If not, 
there is an online version of this workshop

JulyAP Information Workshops

effectively in these hands-on workshops.

It's like IAP, only warmer!


   When:    Every Friday in July, 12noon - 1pm

   Where:  14N-132 (Digital Instruction Resource Center - DIRC)   

7/ 7      EndNote Basics

       EndNote helps you to create databases of 
bibliographic references that you can cite in

       your manuscripts.  EndNote allows you to 
search, retrieve relevant citations, and build

       your bibliography, all within one program. 
Give it a try in this hands-on session!

7/14    Citation Searching Survey

Eugene Garfield outlined the concept of citation 
indexing in an article in Science

Magazine 50 years ago.  We will explore different 
methods of citation indexing, starting

with the Web of Science.

  7/21   RefWorks Basics

RefWorks is a web-based resource designed to help 
you to organize references and

create a bibliography.  RefWorks allows you to 
search, retrieve relevant citations, and

build your bibliography.  It allows users to 
create individual or group accounts, and

makes it easy to write papers, or post your 
results to web pages.  This session will be a

hands-on practicum.

  7/28    Publishing Choices for MIT Grads and Postdocs

Publishing your research is an important rite of 
passage for a new researcher and an

essential part of being a scientist.  This 
session will guide you through some of the

lesser-known but critical choices you'll face in 
your first forays into publishing: where

and how to publish to get exposure and credit for 
your work, and what you can do to

retain your copyright as an author.


Feel free to bring your lunch!  Drinks and dessert will be provided.
