-----------

Due to a power outage/server problem, most of the library sytems are down this morning. This includes the WU library website, WU Catalog, ILLiad, and off-campus access. We're working on getting these up as quickly as possible.

Here are some work arounds:

To check the Libraries holdings and to get call numbers, you can search MOBIUS (http://mobius.missouri.edu/search/X) and limit to location "Washington Univ"

If you're ON CAMPUS, you can access our databases directly:

MLA Int'l Bibliography

BDSL Online

Apologies for any inconvenience this outage is causing. Please contact me for additional assistance. Brian (bvetruba@wustl.edu ; 5-4824)

What is Zotero?

Zotero is a free tool to help you collect, organize, cite, and share your research sources. It is an easy-to-use alternative to RefWorks and Endnote. Zotero lives right where you do your work—in the web browser itself. In this hands-on workshop, we will cover account creation, installation, gathering references, organizing your references, creating citations and sharing or working collaboratively.
