ALI podcast episode 10
Hi! I still live here. Busy month. We did a podcast! Here it is:
Or, you know, go listen to it on the Adventures in Library Instruction site.
Have a good weekend!
Upcoming ACRL webcast: Open Source Research Tools
I'm teaching a webcast for ACRL: "Superpower Your Browser: Open Source Research Tools." I'll cover the search and discovery tool LibX and the citation and bibliography tool Zotero. Learn the essentials of both programs, ideas for supporting them at your library, and a little about how open source is good for libraries and library users.
The session is March 23 at 11am Pacific/2pm Eastern. More details and registration info on the ACRL site.
Zotero’s future not at risk
If you saw the Chronicle of Higher Ed article this week about Mellon closing its Research in IT grant program, you may have been concerned (as I was) about its impact on Zotero. This grant was a major contributor to Zotero's funding.
Happily, Dan Cohen reports that Zotero and the Center for History and New Media is in no danger of folding, and has diverse enough funding to continue actively. It sounds like they have ambitious plans for new projects in the future. Whew!
