Spring 2011 Library Training Workshops Now Available
A new semester is in full swing, and once again the TWU Libraries are offering library training workshops to provide hands-on instruction to all interested TWU students, faculty and staff. Seating is limited, so make your reservations today.
These workshops are designed to provide information about library resources and search skills, so that research may be conducted in a more effective and scholarly manner. The workshops are generally small in size, which allows them to be geared toward participants' individual research needs and disciplines.

Find Articles: Exploring the Databases

Need help citing your papers? APA, MLA, Chicago and Turabian style manuals seem like a jungle? Discover the wonders of RefWorks.
