Symposium Session: Zotero, Endnote and RefWorks

Dawn and I are presenting a session at the TLT Symposium tomorrow on (you guessed it) Zotero, Endnote and RefWorks.

I am excited about this session--I think we've captured a way to show people how to maximize these tools for  specific uses.  Here's a brief description of what we'll be showing tomorrow:

• Using Zotero to capture bibliographic information from the Web, including article databases (We'll be demo-ing Zotero's amazing functionality within Google Scholar.)
  
  
• Taking what was captured in Zotero, and importing the citations into Endnote.  Showing how to insert the newly imported citations into a paper and effortlessly format a bibliography in the citation style of your choice.
  
  
• As a final step, importing the same group of citations into RefWorks.  We'll show off how to use RefShare, enabling others to see the citations you've collected and the (coolest of cool) RefShare RSS feed.  I can envision using a RefShare RSS feed in the context of a class, to keep your students in the flow of new articles you're finding/discussing on a topic.  And they could use RefShare to add their own findings!
  

And of course, we're going to do all of that, plus questions in 45 minutes!  Realistic, right?  I'm hoping to simply show the continuum of how these three tools could be used together to maximize storing, citing and sharing bibliographic information.   Anyone attending is free to contact me or Dawn post-session for more details (this offer applicable to any blog readers as well--except in the states of Alaska and Hawaii.)

One final Symposium note...  Vicki has made some neat postcards for us to hand out at the session.  Here's the
image that will be on the front of our postcard.  I thought it nicely captured Citation Management 1.0 (we're all about the 2.0, kiddo).  I made it using the effortlessly cool Catalog Card Generator.

Hope to see you at the Symposium!

Updated to add:  I made screencasts in Jing for each phase of our presentation.  You can view Zotero, Endnote or RefWorks online--no narration, however.  You have to be at the presentation for that!
