Library Campus Graduate Student Workshops
EndNote
Will you be working on a thesis or writing up a lot of research papers? Is it challenging to keep your research citation data and PDFs organized and easily accessible? If you’re not already using a citation manager, try out EndNote, a citation management tool that is free to download for all current U of L researchers.
EndNote workshops schedule, as well as video tutorials, can be found here
If you're looking for help in troubleshooting an EndNote problem, feel free to send an email to library.endnote@uleth.ca
NVivo
NVivo workshop dates (for Windows users) are available here.
In your next research project, will you need to analyze a fair amount of qualitative data such as interviews, focus groups, and written survey responses? If so, in this hands-on, two-part workshop you will learn how to use NVivo, a desktop app designed to help organize, analyze, and create meaning from unstructured data. Under the University's NVivo license, graduate students and academic staff may install the app on their personal workstation, and all staff and students may use the app in designated ULethbridge computer labs.
Register or find out more about NVivo here
The University of Hull Library offers a series of short videos on various aspects of NVivo for Windows (Release 1), a slightly older version that is essentially the same as NVivo 14 in functionality and layout, which can be found on this page as well, as there are no workshops over the summer months.
