At the request of UH Graduate students, The University of Hawai’i at Manoa’s Hamilton Library will be offering workshops on the software program, EndNote, to assist students with building electronic bibliographies of the resources they use for papers, these and dissertations.
Allie Jordan, Science & Technology Librarian, will present the EndNote Workshops on the following dates in February:
Wednesday, Feb. 18, 1 p.m.-2:15 p.m.
Thursday, Feb 26, 2 p.m.-3:15 p.m.
This workshop will cover essential EndNote functions - perfect for the beginner or those who are not familiar with EndNote X2. Topics that will be covered include:
* > Navigating the EndNote program and learning where to get help with EndNote
* > Creating a new EndNote Library
* > Managing your preferences in EndNote
* > Selecting a citation style for your references
* > Importing references from a database and manually entering a reference into an EndNote Library
* > Setting up groups to organize references in your EndNote Library

* > Uploading images and figures into an EndNote Reference
All of the workshops will be held in the Hamilton Library Addition, Room A156, located just off the Science & Technology Commons Area. The workshop is free for UH Graduate students. Space in this workshop is limited so signup ahead of time online:

Global Market Information Database Available
http://micro189.lib3.hawaii.edu/ezproxy/details.php?dbId=51826
We now have access to the Global Market Information Database (often called "gee-mid" GMID) from Euromonitor. Country coverage includes Afghanistan, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Bangledesh, Bhutan, Brunei, Cambodia, China and Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Japan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Laos, Macau, Malaysia, Mongolia, Myanmar, Nepal, North Korea, Pakistan, Phillipines, Singapore, South Korea, Sri Lanka, Taiwan, Tajikistan, Thailand, Turkmenistan and Vietnam.
Data and narratives will include consumer/lifestyle/market analysis, industry and country information, demographics and other statistics, compiled by Euromonitor staff in the field.
Please note that this database is licensed only for UH students, faculty and staff (and East West fellows). Walk-ins and other visitors will not be able to access the database on their own while in the library because each user has to first go through the proxy server (even while in the building) and then create and use a personal account with Euromonitor.
Though the interface just recently changed, it still has room for improvement... but, once you get the feel for it, there is a lot of primary information that is often hard to find in one package. This should be a good compliment to the EIU reports and profiles.
