Meet with fellow learners on Zoom and learn how to use Zotero to create your own database of citations, PDFs, images, webpages, video and audio files and more. Zotero can then be used to create citations in a large number of citation styles (APA, MLA, CSE, endnotes, footnotes, etc.) which can be added to Google Docs, Microsoft Word and Libre Office. Zotero is a free, easy-to-use tool to help you collect, organize, annotate, cite, and share research. The workshop is open to all disciplines.

This workshop will cover: screening and reading articles efficiently, using organizational tools (research logs and tables, tags, annotated bibliographies) to summarize and surface connections between sources, and practicing a formula for writing your lit review.

Learn about using the citation management software, EndNote, to import citations, customize your account, and format your bibliographies and in-text citations. EndNote is a powerful  tool that can help you save time, stay organized, and collaborate effectively as you write and publish research papers.

We will discuss using EndNote in conjunction with EndNote Online, a web-based version of EndNote freely available to current University of Minnesota students, faculty, and staff. The workshop is open to all disciplines.
