Introducing EndNote
EndNote is a software tool for creating and organizing your bibliographies. You can enter your own references, then sort them, search them, and have EndNote automatically format them in a variety of journal styles. You can connect directly to Voyager or other online databases where you can search for references, then have EndNote automatically capture them to store in your bibliographies. You can use EndNote in MicroSoft Word to build and format citations, figures, and tables. In this workshop we will explore how to get and install EndNote--it's free this year from the UVM software archive. We'll create our first bibliographies, and connect to online databases to add references to our bibliographies. We will also discuss how your students might use EndNote.

Draft PhotoShop Elements Workshop Description
Photoshop Elements: The Basics
Adobe PhotoShop Elements is an easy to use, inexpensive, “lite” version of PhotoShop, the program for creating and editing images. In this class you will
• Learn how to work with images, including scanning tips and tricks
• Get familiar with basic tools and features

2004/2005 Plans
Projects and activities:
1) Migrating from DynaWeb
DynaWeb has been causing problems on chipmunk. Migrating to another product would be a good idea. This requires 2 projects:
a) finding, installing, testing another product. Must be free, easy, robust. ha. Which platform? Could I reconfigure my old Dell to be a sandbox (linux?) Could this actually be done in one semester?
b) the dyna suite is a pre-xml, sgml environment. Several changes need to be made in the (hundreds of) sgml files currently in use to make them completely xml compatible. (While all xml=sgml, not all sgml=xml.)
2) ContentDM, HST11-12
I will be speaking to Chris about the HST11-12 images project. I'd like to take that portion of the HST11-12 work back so that I can load the images (have some content to experiment with in ContentDM). The images need some reformatting and lots of metadata work.
3) UVMDC
In our quest for a product we abandoned our efforts to write general guidelines/best practices for projects. Time to pick this up again.
4) Publish Web Pages at UVM
The tutorial for basic publishing (with TechCat Kelly). Should now approach publishing on several levels: basic Composer/FTP, WebCT, WebGuide, Blogs (I am obviously NOT suggesting we write the complete WebCT or WebGuide pieces)
5) Workshops:
EndNote for CTL
PhotoShop Elements for UT&D
Adobe Acrobat and PDF for UT&D
6) Dr Is In, WebCT, TabletPCs, blogging
Ongoing faculty support in the above areas.
7) Continue the Master's program
8) Revamp CS005 for next semester. Plan activities around a once a week evening class instead of three times a week. Change some components, add/remove others. Broaden coverage of XML. Begin final project earlier, etc.
9) Plan for spring collaboration with Dona Brown on a Vermont Studies Program course project to digitize a related UVM holding. Based on student project from CS005. (Students scan, transcribe, markup and publish VT-related historical documents.)
10) Whither dSpace? Whither ETDs?
Would there be interest now in electronic thesis and dissertations on the part of the Grad College? Would writing an EndNote/Word template help this along? PDF files stored in dSpace for delivery?
11) Classics letters, Chaucer Duchess
Check on status of Jacque Bailey's letters project. Assist as needed. Ditto Laurel Broughten's Chaucer "Book of the Duchess"
12) TEI
Join consortium. Explore the new TEI P5.
13) Begin Alice recovery...
