What's Zotero? 

Collecting, Managing and Citing Reference Resources with Zotero:

A Hands-On Workshop

This hands-on class will introduce you to Zotero, a free, open source alternative to reference manager systems such as EndNote and ProCite. Zotero allows you to easily save webpages and articles found in library subscription databases such as Worldwide Political Science Abstracts, JSTOR, and PubMed, as well as bibliographic details, PDFs or other files, comments/notes, and indexing terms. Saved PDFs are searchable. When you are ready to write, you can use Zotero to integrate your references into your work in many citation styles using MS Word or OpenOffice. References can be backed up, and can be shared between computers and even with other people over the Web.

Upcoming EndNote Classes (also Zotero)

Now I'm a huge fan of Zotero, and I teach Zotero classes, but I totally recognize that Zotero is not for everyone. If you'd like to learn how to use EndNote, my WSU Libraries colleague Jane Scales teaches EndNote classes, and she has a series coming up:

The sign up is here (scorll down to find the EndNote classes) and the schedule is

3/29/2011 EndNote: Beginners Class 10:00-12:00
4/5/2011 EndNote: Using Databases with EndNote 1:00-3:00
4/12/2011 EndNote: Cite While You Write 10:00-12:00
4/19/2011 EndNote: Open Workshop 1-3pm

If you are interested in Zotero, I will be scheduling some classes soon and will update this post or add a new one.
