Want to learn how to organize articles you find in your research and create bibliographies with a single click? In this session, you'll learn about the free, open-source citation manager, Zotero. This introductory session is perfect for anyone new to citation managers or with limited experience with Zotero. The session will be helpful for anyone wanting to organize their research, and will be especially useful for Capstone students, grad students, and others embarking on larger research projects. Note: For best results, bring a laptop to this session. Attendees without one can still learn how to use Zotero online on one of the in-room computers.
