Now is your chance to learn more about this handy tool and how it can help you keep your research in order. Dibner Library will be presenting an online program, offered by OPAL, in Room 433 next Wednesday, January 23. Details below:

The Mark of Zotero: Two-Clicks to Citation Management
Wednesday, January 23, 2008, 2:00 p.m.
Dibner Library, Room 433
No registration required

Zotero, designed by the Center for History and New Media at George Mason University, is a free downloadable extension for the Firefox web browser. It allows researchers to keep track of bibliographies, notes, even copies of articles and pictures– all within the browser window. It integrates with several word processors to make creating a reference or a bibliography a two-click process.
Chris Strauber, Reference and Web Services Librarian at Wofford College, will demonstrate the program and discuss it as a possible replacement for products like Procite and Refworks.

Don’t miss this great opportunity to learn how Zotero can help you collect, manage, and cite your research sources.
