With the upcoming holidays, parties, people shopping late, and possibly being in unfamiliar areas, this is a good time to bring some extra awareness to bear on personal safety. Please bring your lunch and join us next Monday, 15 December from 12:05pm to 1:00 pm in the Damon Room. We will discuss the self protection pyramid and cover the basics of how to avoid becoming a target for attack, and what some options might be if you are attacked. Please rsvp me if you are interested in coming. We are considering handouts and it would be helpful to have an idea of how many folks are planning to attend.

Similar to Endnote, RefWorks is a Web-based bibliography and database manager that allows you to create your own personal database by importing references from text files, online databases, or typing them in from your hardcopy sources. You can merge a research paper and citations together to create a research paper with bibliography. Sign up now by clicking on Refworks on the Library home page, http://www.ucar.edu/library, and create your user name and password. To learn more about Refworks come to a demonstration on: Thursday, December 11 1:00 p.m. in the Chapman Room at the Mesa 3:00 p.m. in room 2133 in Foothills Building 1 If you are interested in attending please contact Leslie Forehand, x8505, forehand@ucar.edu.
