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.

As a student at the University of Minnesota, you have access to the Libraries, file storage, computing systems, and software designed to help you do your research, scholarly, and creative work. When you graduate, your access to many of these things will change. This session will provide an overview of actions graduate students should take to manage files associated with their scholarly work before and after they leave the UMN.
