EndNote x2

Over the next few weeks Training @ La Trobe will be running EndNote X2 sessions for academic staff and postgraduate students at Bundoora.

Detailed information about the sessions, as well as available dates and times can be viewed via  EndNote X2 Training (PDF).

The cost is $20 per half day session; and registration is through the Training @ La Trobe website.

We hope you like the changes we’ve made to our blog.

We want this space to be interactive and your place to share thoughts on all things Library-related.

Please feel free to tell us what topics you’d like to see covered here or just let us know what you think of our ‘new look’.

The shortlist for the Man Booker Prize for Fiction 2009 will be announced tomorrow (Tuesday 8 September) at a press conference at Man Group’s London headquarters.  If you want to have a look at the longlist it is available on the Man Booker Prizes website.

Comments and discussion are encouraged on their Debate page.  Have you had a chance to read any of the chosen titles?  What do you think about the judges’ choices?

The winner of the Man Booker Prize for Fiction 2009 will be announced on Tuesday 6 October.

In the 27th August issue of Rabelais, Candice Ryan’s item, ‘Library fines a way into student funds’, highlighted student concerns over ‘heavy fines’ for overdue materials.

We’re interested to know what blog readers think of Library fines at Bundoora.  Do you think they are unfair?  Do you think students are well enough informed about the Library’s policy on overdue materials?

Academic gowns worn at graduation ceremonies are now on display in the Library.

Come in and have a look… imagine what you will look like in yours.
