We'll also show you how to submit a request for any articles we don't offer. Put away that wallet, and join us to find articles, free!

Drowning in sources for your paper? Frustrated by citations? This workshop focuses on the basics of using the free, cloud-based Zotero citation management tool and app, which can help you collect, organize, annotate, cite, and share research sources. It saved me a lot of headaches and heartache, and it can do the same for you.
