I use Zotero (along with Evernote) to keep track of the readings and research I use for my work.
While I primarily use it to create bibliographies, I also use as a personal library of sorts. When I need to find a favourite article, I open up Zotero, do a search if necessary, and open the article on the web (that is, if I haven't already kept an archived copy along with my citation).
The organizers of UWill Discover—the first annual University of Windsor Undergraduate Research Conference—have issued a call for proposals from undergraduate students in all disciplines.
An opportunity to showcase work in a professional setting before peers, faculty, and the community, the conference will take place over one day in March 2015. It will operate fully digitally, saving the costs of printing materials, and enabling work to be connected with interested readers around the world.
The University of Windsor's 60 day free trial to Routledge Handbooks Online is now active providing complete access to the platform at your institution until 12th March 2015. Visit https://www.routledgehandbooks.com to gain access.
