This workshop will cover the basics of using one citation manager, RefWorks. Citation managers help you keep track of the literature you have found for that research report, paper, or essay. They also help you accurately create endnotes for any report - no more remembering whether it's a comma or a semicolon. This workshop will go over the basics of citation managers, identify some of the more common citation managers focusing on RefWorks, practice importing citations from a few databases, such as Google Scholar and Web of Science and any other database, how to identify when you have missing data in your citation, and how to create endnotes. Before the session — Create a RefWorks account and set up a Google Docs extension. Directions can be found here. Bring your laptop to the session. The session will be interactive. Open toGraduate Students, Undergraduates, Faculty, Staff, Postdocs https://www.library.nd.edu/event/refworks-managing-citations-for-research-2025-09-19/

Get a one-hour sampling of the power of a Notre Dame liberal arts education with the College of Arts & Letters' Crash Course series on home football Fridays! Each event features an A&L professor leading a class session pulled directly from some of the most popular and riveting courses on campus."Writing in the Age of AI" with Nathaniel MyersUniverity Writing Program  Would you use ChatGPT to complete a report for work? Would you use it to write an apology letter to a loved one? What about drafting a toast for a wedding reception? Generative artificial intelligence technologies can produce text that sounds convincingly human, and they hold the promise to make us more efficient and effective writers. But they're also prone to fabricating information — and besides, what do we owe our (human) readers? In this session, attendees will get a glimpse into how this course examines what it means to write with AI across many different situations, provides strategies for incorporating it into the writing process, and encourages us to reflect on why we might choose to use AI (or not) in the first place.  Alumni, friends, prospective students and their parents, and anyone else on campus are welcome.   Visit Crash Course for a complete listing of courses this season.Originally published at al.nd.edu.
