For their convenience, instructors may now use an online form in order to request a library instruction session for their classes. The form provides space for faculty to tailor their library instruction sessions by providing details about the courses’ research topics and assignments. After submitting the form, an instructor will be contacted by a subject specialist librarian who will be able to finalize the content/structure of the class.
For more information, or to schedule a session by phone, contact Britt McGowan, Library Instruction Coordinator, at 474.2048 or your subject specialist librarian. We look forward to seeing you and your students.

Christmas postcards from 1890s through the 1920s highlight the Special Collections exhibit case on the first floor of the Library celebrating the holidays!
These penny postcards (postage was one cent!) show an evolution of printing from multicolor 1890s Santa Claus (printed in Germany) to beautiful Art Deco
angels of the 1910s and the traditional greetiing cards of the 1920s. These examples are from the family papers of the Axelson Family of Pensacola and the personal papers of Dorothy Burrows, both collections held in Special Collections.

RefWorks the library’s popular citation manager (featured in the April 27 Books and Bytes) has added two new helpful features. The first one is RefShare, which makes it possible to share references among group members. This feature would be extremely helpful if you are working on group bibliographies or a shared library collection. RefShare may be accessed within Refworks from the Folders tab or the Tools tab.
This tutorial explains the RefShare in detail.
RefWorks has also extended access to its database for the lifetime of current or past students of a subscribed university. So, as long as UWF subscribes to RefWorks, you, as a UWF alumni, will have access to your citations. Even if you graduate and go to another university, you still have access to RefWorks!

This week’s post is a guest entry by Marsha Clark from the Making Way for Excellence Communications Team reviewing Results That Last by Quint Studer.
As I was breezing through the Pensacola News Journal one day I saw another great article about Quint Studer and a local seminar he was giving. Being such a great fan of Mr. Studer and an active member of the Making Way for Excellence Coordinating Committee which introduced me to this great man, I wished I could have attended. As always, he had his audience mesmerized by his motivational message to be all they were intended to be. Since I couldn’t go, I decided to do the next best thing; I scrounged around the office for a book of his and came across “Results That Last”. It was then I was asked to write a small blog and will attempt to summarize the wealth of knowledge that is in this fascinating book.
