>>have been affected by the tsunami. The videoconference will open with reports by Sri Lankan citizens and Mr. Lalith Weeratunga, Secretary to the Prime Minister of Sri Lanka and a Member of her Excellency’s Task Force to Rebuild the Nation. Then, students at Yale and other universities around the world will have an opportunity ask questions directly to Sri Lankan leaders and citizens.

Episcopal Relief and Development: If you have been meaning to give a contribution to help with Tsunami relief efforts, and haven't gotten around to it, or if you've already given and want to give again, Episcopal Relief and Development is a great organization to give to.  There are flyers available at the
Berkeley office, or you can go to the web site (www.er-d.org) and give in just a few minutes.  ER-D is a part of the Episcopal Church, which covers most of their overhead, allowing a great percentage of your
gift to go to those who need it, so it's a great organization to donate to.  If you have any questions, visit the web site or ask one of the Berkeley/Yale ER-D Representatives (Judith Allison, John Chalmers, Martha Korienek, Ned Mulligan, Jonathan Ratican, or Andy Thompson).

RefWorks - YDS Library Workshop: Are you having trouble organizing the references you accumulate in the course of researching and writing a paper or report?

You can add references manually or import directly from ORBIS or other online databases (ATLA Religion Database, for example) available from Yale University Libraries. It allows you to easily create in-text citations while you are writing your paper. Once you are finished writing, it takes just moments to generate your bibliography. Come to a 45 min. tutorial to learn more about how to get started with RefWorks. If you plan to attend, please set up a RefWorks account. Click on the RefWorks link on the YDS Library web page http://www.library.yale.edu/div/or the Yale University Library web page http://www.library.yale.edu/.
