C&RL News article about LibX and Zotero
by Jason on Feb.07, 2010, under publications
The February 2010 issue of College and Research Library News includes my article “Superpower your browser with LibX and Zotero: Open source tools for research.” It’s an overview of these two research tools and my ideas about how and why they’re valuable resources for academic libraries. If you’re interested in my March 23 ACRL webcast, this article gives you a good idea of the kind of thing I’ll be covering, but of course with live demos and discussion.

Upcoming ACRL webcast: Open Source Research Tools
by Jason on Jan.12, 2010, under presentations
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.
