Did you know that the library has subject guides for departments, colleges, and special topics? These guides can be found at http://guides.library.unlv.edu/. Two of these guides, created by our Education Librarian, Paula McMillen, will be of particular interest to those in the College of Education. The first one is a general guide for Education, which has recently been revamped. Paula has also created a Tests and Measures guide which will be helpful in finding information on educational testing. Please contact Paula at paula.mcmillen@unlv.edu if you have any comments or suggestions regarding these guides, or ideas for future guides that you would like to see.

Looking for a way to save time when citing sources? RefWorks, a bibliographic management resource, will help you gather and cite references easily and effectively. Join us at the CML on September 9 from 2:30-3:30 pm to learn to use RefWorks to capture citations to journal articles, books, web sites and more into your personal online database. You'll be able to quickly link to online articles, organize and share your references, and automatically create formatted bibliographies in all the major citation formats, including APA, MLA and Chicago styles.
Space is limited for this workshop, and a reservation is required. If you are interested in attending, please RSVP by calling 895-2123, or visit www.library.unlv.edu/inst/ semsignup.html. If you are unable to attend the workshop but are interested in learning about RefWorks, please contact us. You can set up a time to come in on your own and learn about this useful resource, and you can also bring in your classes for RefWorks-focused instruction.
