All things new...

With the bombardment of information available on the internet, we understand that it's difficult to sift through, find good sites, or even helpful sites. If you haven't yet checked out the "Research links" page on the Library website is chocked full of good ones. Everything from encyclopedias, MLA citation cites, how to write a research paper aids, book reviews, and more are listed and linked there. Basically, I've updated the page with all my favorite and most helpful del.icio.us tags, just for you. Use them well (in my best Yoda voice). Remember, internet sources are only good if your instructor allows you to use them. These are meant to be tools, and have reliable information. Unlike wikipedia that is highly unreliable, and not accepted by your instructors. If you have questions, the Writing Lab and your teachers are always your best resource!

On the note of all things new and helpful, many of you are confused, frustrated, or just plain stumped at the ins-and-outs of the new Office 2007 programs on lab computers. Don't worry, you will figure it out. Everything is still there, just moved around a bit with some really cool new added features. The good news is Microsoft has provided free online tutorials that you can go through step-by-step for each program you need, be it Word, Access, Excel, Power Point, or another. These are set up well and are easy to understand. They do take about 30 minutes to go through, but well worth it for those who use these programs a lot. Check them out at http://office.microsoft.com/training.
