Langsdale Library is offering 2 workshops  to help faculty and students learn more about Zotero.  Zotero is a free Firefox extension that allows users to collect, manage, organize and store citations from the web, databases or books.  Zotero also has an associated word processor plug-in making it easy to cite sources from your Zotero library as you write your paper and create an automatic bibliography in almost any citation style.

If you're interested in learning more about this tool, please attend the workshop.  If you can't make it, feel free to contact Catherine Johnson (cajohnson@ubalt.edu) for more information, or take a look at http://langsdale.ubalt.edu/howto/zotero.htm

If you're interested in attending, please call 410.837.4274 or email langref@ubalt.edu to RSVP.  While RSVP is not necessary, it's helpful to have a sense of how many people will be attending.
