RefWorks, CSA Illumina, CSA Illustrata Are Subjects of BCR Online Sessions
BCR has scheduled three new one-hour sessions on our Products and Services Showcase (PSS). RefWorks will be the topic of sessions at 10 a.m. and again at 1 p.m. (Mountain Time) on Tuesday, July 31. CSA Illumina is scheduled for those same times on Tuesday, August 14, and CSA Illustrata: Natural Sciences on Thursday, September 6. All will be presented by Aimée D. Leverette, Training & Information specialist.
RefWorks
RefWorks, an online research management, writing and collaboration tool, is designed to help researchers easily gather, manage, store and share all types of information, as well as generate citations and bibliographies. The July 31 session will serve as a general introduction to the most common methods of importing and exporting references from popular academic databases, organization of references, sharing and attachment options and bibliography creation.
CSA Illumina
CSA Illumina is designed to provide a simple, more user-friendly approach to searching for novice users, while maintaining powerful options for users who require them. The interface provides access to more than 100 databases published by CSA and its publishing partners. This session will serve as an introduction to the features and functionality of the platform, focusing on quick and advanced search pages, search results, search tools and browse options.
CSA Illustrata: Natural Sciences
CSA Illustrata: Natural Sciences provides Web-based access to indexed tables, figures, maps, graphs, charts and other images contained in scholarly articles from a variety of publishers. Users can display the full image, including captions and label text — all of which can be easily saved or imported and used for presentations, lectures or research. This session will provide an introduction to database content and full-text linking, search limits and options and results and display of various types of content found in the CSA Illustrata: Natural Sciences database.
