Getting Published: How to Publish Your Science Research Article will be held next Monday, October 19 at 1:30 pm in Walter 310. Learn more about choosing appropriate venues for publishing your research and how to manage your rights when signing
a contract with a publisher. This workshop is intended for graduate students and newer faculty in the
sciences. Join your colleagues to share your ideas
and discuss the issues you face as an emerging academic author.
The web version of SciFinder Scholar is now available, and access via
the client software will end in late 2010. Until we move completely to
the web, our 17 seats will be split between the web and software
versions. I will monitor how many people are turned away each day and
change the allocation as needed. Keep in mind that weekday afternoons
are the busiest times. The web version still requires you to use VPN
off-campus.

We are constantly working to improve our tools and services, and our catalog, MNCAT, is one of the most visible of these. Please help us make the library catalog better by filling out a survey about MNCAT. We're especially interested in your comments. There is one survey for MNCAT Classic, and one for MNCAT Plus. You can answer one or both, and each only takes about 5 minutes. We want to hear from you!
RefWorks has recently announced that they will offer lifelong access to alumni of subscribing institutions. See their FAQ for more information.
