We’ll talk about many of the resources in the Language Schools Library Guide. Feel free to browse the guide in advance of your meeting and to refer to it throughout the term. We will also have a short library tour visiting the language collections, assigned carrels for each school, and our Special Collections where you will get to interact with rare materials relating to many languages.
Introduction to Zotero
- Dates:
- Zotero is an open-source citation management tool (like RefWorks or EndNote) which is free to use anywhere in the world. It is especially useful for anyone managing many sources, of various types, for multiple research projects. In this session, participants will learn how to:
- Populate their Zotero library by importing or creating metadata from sources like books, articles, websites, etc.
- Organize these citations and accompanying research materials such as notes and annotations
- Produce bibliographies in various citation styles while using word-processing software (MS Word or Google Docs)
