I have also suggested to others who ask me for assistance to check out the writing center. Perhaps they do not want to, would rather I hold their hand, but in this PhD journey, there are no hand holdings going on. RefWorks was a little challenging at first, but this could be due to my own learning curve, and trying to learn how to build a webpage from scratch at the same time (too much computer is bad for anyone!). I just figured out some really usuful benefits RefWorks offers in this last assignment I completed. It takes time to learn the management of the program, but once you have it down, it is a valuable tool. The Writing Center helped me through my Master's and now through my PhD. I will be writing along, and suddenly don't remember how to cite something, or have another APA question, I don't even have to get my lazy but off the chair, I just go to the Library Writing Center. My question is answered, and on I go. I will say, when I was suddenly just an Alumni, and did not have full access to all the tools, I felt lost. I love to do research beyond the class work, and I missed all the resources. I have found all the Library resources so useful.
