A Bibliography with the Click of a Button! April 18, 2013
Posted by gonzagalibrary in Uncategorized.add a comment
Want to create a quick bibliography from a folder or a list of references in RefWorks? Here’s how:
In the References tab, select the checkboxes to the left of all the references you wish to include in your bibliography. Are all the references you need in one folder? Navigate to that folder by clicking the “Organize & Share Folders” tab.
Once you’ve selected the appropriate folder from the list in the “Organize & Share Folders” tab, select the references you wish to include by checking the boxes. “All in List” at the top of the list of references will be automatically selected—this ensures that everything in the folder will be included in the bibliography.
If you only want selected references from the folder in your bibliography, you can check the boxes to the left of the references you wish to use. The button at the top of the list of references will switch to “Selected” from “All in List” when you begin to mark checkboxes for individual references.
When all the references you’d like in your bibliography are selected, click:
A popup window will appear. The window shows you which folder (if any) the bibliography will be created from, and how many references will be included. You can select any one of the thousands of citation styles, and you can choose the type of document you want to create (.docx for Mac or Windows, .txt, .rtf, .odt or HTML).

Library Logins demystified…
Foley library offers a variety of services you can access online. Many of these services require unique usernames and password. Here is a little explanation of which systems require which access information.
Primo/Classic Library Catalog: If you want to access the full contents of Primo, or if you want to access your account to renew books and see what you have checked out you can login to either Primo or the Classic catalog using your Student ID as the username and your last name as the password.
Reserve a Study Room: The study room reservations link brings you into the Classic Catalog and uses your Student ID as the username and your last name as the password.
Databases from off campus: To access full text databases, or resources such as Films on Demand for video streaming of a huge collection of documentaries, TED talks, and historical film footage, click on the database from the library Electronic Resources A to Z and sign in using your Gonzaga username (same as your email without the @zagmail.gonzaga.edu) and password.
ILLiad: Our InterLibrary Loan software, ILLiad, requires a unique logon that you create when you register. The username and password can be anything you select, but we do not recommend using your email address as a username as it is too long for the system to handle. If you have never used ILLiad before, follow the links for “First Time Users” to create your login. If you have used it before, but have forgotten your username or password you can contact the ILL department at 509-313-3878.
If you have any questions please let us know! The reference desk is staffed during all open library hours and can be reached at 509-313-5931, or contact us by chat from our library homepage or text message at 509-730-5979.
Library System Maintenance January 21 January 18, 2013
Posted by gonzagalibrary in Uncategorized.add a comment
The library catalog and circulation system will be unavailable starting at 8 am Monday January 21st while the system is upgraded. You will be unable to renew books online, place holds, or see if a book is available while this system is unavailable- but fear not, databases and research materials will be unaffected by this brief service disruption.
The library will be open at 1:00 pm on Monday, due to the MLK holiday, and will be open until 2 am. Barring any complications, we hope to have the catalog and circulation system back up by early afternoon.
Please enjoy the holiday Monday, in honor of a great man.
“Even if I knew that tomorrow the world would go to pieces, I would still plant my apple tree.”
