Sasso (Gumberg Library)
Citation management software can save you time, help you
keep your research organized, and sometimes even help you connect with others
who have similar research interests. There are many citation managers
available, either free or for a fee, each with its own strengths. This
presentation will demonstrate four of the most widely used citation managers
and help you decide which would best meet your needs. This is not a hands-on
training session, but will review the basic features of RefWorks, Mendeley,
Zotero, and EasyBib and the audience for each.
