The AUT Library team has been busy preparing lots of workshops to get you up to speed with the software you’ll need to manage your documents and citations. Whether you’re interested in using EndNote, Zotero, Mendeley, or even LaTeX for preparing your STEM publications, the library has you covered.
Check out these workshops coming up over the next 2 weeks.
EndNote, Zotero or Mendeley?
This library workshop will introduce Zotero, Mendeley and EndNote, three of the most popular and accessible citation managers. You can ask questions, and have an opportunity to try each product for yourself. At the end of the session you should be better informed to choose the reference manager that best meets your working style and research needs.
