Workshop: Introduction to Endnote web

This workshop - an introduction to Endnote Web - is run by the library and is open to academic staff, researchers and postgraduate students.

EndNote Web is a web based bibliographic management software package that will help you to organise and manage your bibliographic references and create bibliographies easily and automatically. If you're engaged in a large-scale research project then Endnote Web offers practical solutions to managing all your references.

As well as working through exercises to familiarise you with EndNote Web, we will also look at the full, on campus version of EndNote.

Session date: Monday 19th December 2011

Location: John Dalton, C1.02
Time: 10.30 - 13.00

If you would like to book a place then please email Liz Peet, e.peet@mmu.ac.uk Further details about EndNote Web and EndNote can be found at:

Wednesday 30th and strike action

Hi All,

As mentioned in coffee this week.....there will be some staff missing next week due to industrial action. Some staff (Ros) have already provided a solution for their units...others should have material up on Moodle for you to access.

Dr Judi Barrett has assured me that she WILL be giving the introductory lecture for

EG7517 : Air, Water and Land: Science and Policy at 1pm in E422.

Apologies..and everything should be back to normal the following week.

Important Message from Liz Price

Dear Students

A reminder.... that if exceptional factors affect any assessments, you MUST submit evidence in a timely fashion – i.e. before or just after the assessment deadline. The dates on the evidence must tally with the dates of assessments affected.

Many thanks!

Best wishes,
Liz

IMPORTANT: Message from Ros Howell

Important announcement for all students taking EG7518 The Sustainable City. It has been agreed that the first session will now take place a week earlier than previously published. This is due to the likelihood of industrial action on 30th November.


The first session will now take place on 23rd November, 1.00 – 3.00, in E221.
Please let me know if this causes anyone any problems.

The rest of the sessions are as published in the teaching scheme, there will however be no class on 30th November for this unit. I am currently trying to set up the moodle area and ensure you all have access to it.

All the Best,
Ros Howell
(Unit Co-ordinator: The Sustainable City)

Attention: Outgoing MSc Students

To those students who are awaiting news of their MSc dissertation after this week's Board of Examiners meeting.....please be patient and don't harass your supervisor for marks. It is a serious disciplinary offence for a member of staff to divulge marks and outcomes BEFORE the Board of Examiner meeting (which takes place this Friday 18th). You will receive a letter notifying you of the outcome next week.

Thanks
Mark

EG7515 - Message from Ros (also posted on Moodle)

Dear EG7515 students,

I am sorry about any confusion and problems regarding Assignment 2. First, can I confirm that the deadline is November 18th.

I will put an announcement on moodle which you will receive by e-mail when marks and feedback are available, I expect this to be first thing on Tuesday morning. Then, if you e-mail me, I will send you a mark and feedback comments.

I will give you feedback in class on Wednesday, although I apologise for the timing of this and realise it is very close to the deadline for Assignment 2.

Regards,

Ros

Attention: 'ECC' EMSD students

Hi,

Those of you readying your ECC-Themed posters for the special EG7533a unit. Please remember to put your name and student ID number clearly on the poster....for the additional marking staff and external examiner who don't know who you are.

Thanks
Mark

Library Infoskills Session

Hi all,

If you did NOT attend the original Library Infoskills session during the induction day back in September then you MUST attend the duplicate session running in December. It is compulsory for all PG students to attend such a session and will greatly improve the quality of your literature searching and citation.
The session will run on WEDNESDAY 7^th December from 11am – 12pm in room C1.02.

Those of you who attended the original session back in September (on the original day of induction) are also welcome to attend if you need a refresher...but for you it is optional.

Thanks
Mark

Attention: 'ECC' students taking EMSD

This is a message for those students who are taking the special ECC flavour of EMSD (i.e. doing EG7533a):
The date and time of your Poster Presentation (Assignment 2) is: Wednesday 23rd November at 10am. The venue is the 'Street' (Chester Street entrance corridor and foyer). There will be poster boards available and I will bring drawing pins at about 9:45am. The marking session should last no more than an hour. You do not need to submit anything via the CRO bins...the poster will be collected by me at the end. Please note that if you do not attend - and have no Exceptional Factors by way of an excuse, you will be awarded zero!

thanks
Mark
