“Oh, Xuemei, I’m glad I came today!” Cindy Mack, SLAIS student

9 students and 1 prospective student gathered in the SLAIS Terrace lab on the 29th to learn about Zotero.  In just two hours we explored the ins and outs of this amazing free citation management tool.  All participants were very impressed with the extensive features and flexiblity Zotero could offer.  Xuemei Li, 2nd year MLIS student, did an excellent job inspiring us all to learn this new tool and all participants plan to make the most of Zotero for our upcoming research activities.
