Thanks for the suggestion! Thus far we’ve only offered one of these types of classes, so it was a new experience for us. We quickly learned that it is not possible to cover more than one tool in a class if we want to be able to provide extensive hands-on experience. We will be offering more classes soon (see below) – some on Zotero, some on Mendeley. We hope to see you then!
Library Workshop: Zotero
March 27 (Tuesday): 11:30am to 12:20
April 5 (Thursday): 5:15pm to 6:15
Library Workshop: Mendeley
March 28 (Wednesday): 5:15pm to 6:15
Registration is required and capped at 10 people, so sign up now on myChatham Happenings!
Workshop Descriptions
Mendeley
Working on research and have PDFs saved all over the place? Do you keep misplacing the articles you’ve found? There’s an easier way to keep track! Attend this workshop to learn more about Mendeley, a tool that you can use both to keep all your research in one location and to create citations.
Zotero
Working on research and have PDFs saved all over the place? Do you keep misplacing the articles you’ve found? There’s an easier way to keep track! Attend this workshop to learn more about Zotero, a tool that you can use both to keep all your research in one location and to create citations.
For those of you who cannot make one of these sessions:
Both of these resources offer videos for you to view in order to see how to use them (Mendeley videos, Zotero videos). The library is also in the process of creating an introductory video which we hope to make available on our page of How To Videos soon. These two tools both have their pros and cons; for example, depending on the library database, one may work better than the other. A comparison chart of general features is also available.
