Zotero workshops

Zotero is a free and easy to use citation manager that works with a web browser and allows you to collect, manage and cite research sources. This workshop will give you tips on setting up and managing a Zotero account, including  adding citations and bibliographies to Word documents. The University subscription to EndNote Online ends in June of 2015, so we'll also discuss transferring citations to Zotero. Four identical workshops will be held in Jackson Library's CITI lab on Oct. 28, Nov. 3, Nov. 4 and Nov. 13 - all are from 3:30 to 5:00.
