hands-on workshops.

Wed., 4/25 @ 5-6:30: Library toolbars, extensions and web apps: 
little tools with big impact
Tired of hopping between Google Scholar, Amazon, and library catalogs 
and databases? Can't find that great article you meant to read later? 
Need better ways of sharing scholarly resources within your group?

Come hear about some new web tools that may help you work more 
efficiently. Learn to organize and share your references, catalog 
your personal book collections online, and search seamlessly between 
library resources and other web sites.

We will demo: LibraryThing, del.icio.us, CiteULike, library-relevant 
Firefox extensions, and more.

Fri., 4/27 @ 12-1: Company Research for Engineers and Scientists: 
Know your Prospective Employer or Partner
You may be a skilled investigator in the area of Science or 
Engineering, but what do you know about company research? This 
session will introduce you to library-supported databases about 
companies and industries. We will also use examples and hands-on 
exercises to demonstrate strategies for learning about industry 
trends and prospective employers or partners.
