Are you looking for a method to organize your research that works with your existing workflow? Learn about the options available from Zotero, a free citation management tool. 

In this 60-minute session, we will cover collecting citations from a variety of sources, organizing your research, annotating in the platform’s PDF reader, creating in-text citations and bibliographies in Word and Google Docs, and (free!) storage considerations. This workshop is aimed at the beginner, but can also be a helpful refresher. 

If you’d like to follow along with the demonstration, plan to have Zotero and Zotero Connector (the browser plug-in) installed on your computer before the session. Please consult this ​downloading guide and contact Grant Hardaway if you have questions about downloading.

Microsoft Co-pilot and Chat GPT are popular large language model (LLM) tools used for answering questions, brainstorming, coding, and other innovative applications. 

In this in-person Using AI for Research session, we will demonstrate how to use these tools to enhance your research methods, including brainstorming topics, searching for articles, analyzing literature trends, and developing keywords. While LLMs offer innovative ways to conduct research, they also come with challenges and limitations. Understanding these hurdles will help you determine if LLMs are the right fit for your research needs.
