Online citation managers are an easy way to keep track of all of your references. The University Library System resources work with tools such as Mendeley, EndNote, ad Zotero. These are tools for importing citations from sources like PittCat and article databases that can automatically integrate them into your research paper and bibliography.
Our liaison librarians can design and conduct a custom instruction session for your class. We can cover research skills and resources for a particular assignment, talk about plagiarism and citing sources, go over the importance of evaluating information sources, and much more.
The ULS hosts papers at the D-Scholarship Institutional Repository. This initiative is designed to provide stable, long-term storage and ongoing maintenance for content contained within the repository.
