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.

Research Data Management Best Practices - Tues 10/28, 1 pm
Got Data? Research Data
Management Best Practices - Tuesday 10/28, 1:00 pm Jackson Library, Room 216,
UNCG
No matter what kind of research you do, your data are key to
your success. We tend to think of numeric data, but research data can take many
different forms, including images, video, sound files, or textual data. Data
management is the process of managing your data before, during, and after a
research project. This ensures that your research is secure, promotes the reuse
of your data by other researchers, and assures compliance with federal
guidelines.
Come to this workshop to learn the best practices of
research data management. All disciplines are welcome to attend. We will
discuss why data management matters and share best practices. The session will
be interactive and geared to the attendees' needs. All are welcome.
Presenter: Lynda Kellam, Data Services & Government
Information Librarian, The University Libraries. For more information: http://uncg.libguides.com/rdm.
