New Version of EndNote & Date Issues with Version X2

Version X3 of EndNote is available for download from downloads.reed.edu.

Current X2 users may find that items with a publication date of 2010 or later will not import the year data. When this occurs, the year must be added manually (see Support FAQs  for more details).

Both EndNote X3 and EndNote Web import the publication date correctly. The easiest solution is to upgrade to EndNote X3. If a user can not upgrade for whatever reason, an updated fix for X2 can be downloaded from:

Please contact CUS or a reference librarian for more information.

Eddings exhibit

January 5 – April 20, 2010

DAVID EDDINGS:  Creator of Fantasy Worlds
David Eddings ’54 presented his papers to Reed in early 2009.  Upon his death several months later, his bequest of $18 million dollars also came to Reed. Eddings’ immense popularity as a fantasy writer was earned by the 24 fantasy titles published between 1982 and 2006, and his many thousands of fans are found worldwide.  Selections from his papers are on display along with every book he published.  The exhibit is in the library’s flat exhibit cases and the reference area wall case.Eddings54grad
