Burton and Inglis Lecture
Year after year, Rafe Esquith's fifth-grade students excel. They read passionately, far above their grade level; tackle algebra; and stage Shakespeare at a professional level. Yet Esquith teaches at an L.A. inner-city school known as the Jungle, where few of his students speak English at home, and many are from poor or troubled families. How does he inspire this success? Join us for a presentation by Rafe Esquith and his students where they describe the "culture of excellence" that drives them all, the intense study that takes place well beyond the school day, and the results that follow them for life. Kathleen McCartney, Acting Dean and Gerald S. Lesser Professor of Early Childhood Development, will introduce the forum.
This lecture is made possible, in part, through a gift from William H. and Virginia N. Burton.
For information, contact Meghan Liegel at liegelme@gse.harvard.edu.

EndNote is a software program for storing and managing bibliographic references. With it, you can create your own database of references, including ones you import from library catalogs and online databases. These can include links to full text when available. Use EndNote to sort, search, and format references, and to insert them into Word documents to create in-text citations and reference lists automatically. Note: Students usually purchase EndNote to work on long-term research projects, such as a dissertation or comprehensive literature review.
At the end of this workshop, you will be able to create an EndNote library and add records to it. You’ll be able to search and sort those references and use EndNote’s Cite While You Write feature to insert them into a Word document. You’ll know how to set preferences, what EndNote filters and connection files are, how to find and install these for HOLLIS Catalog, and how to import/export references from Harvard’s e-resources into EndNote.
Both sessions are 1 1/2 hours
April 13th, Thursday
LOCATION: G302 – Third Floor Gutman Library
Scheduling Conflict? Questions? Contact the Research Services Desk (617-495-3421)
----------
Learn how EndNote filters, templates, and output styles work together and how to customize them when necessary so that they work well with commonly-used citation sources such as ERIC.
This session is intended for those who are comfortable with EndNote’s basic functions (formatting a paper, importing citations from Harvard’s E-resources, and working with the citation database), but would like to learn how to create fixes when EndNote doesn’t work the way you expect or want it to.
Laptops welcome. Windows users, please be sure you've installed EndNote 9.0.1 Updater for Windows available at
http://www.endnote.com/support/enupdates.asp
