EndNote is a licensed software package from Thomson Reuters that is available at no charge to Virginia Tech faculty, staff, and students. EndNote is defined in its promotional materials as an online search tool, a reference and full text organizer with a collaborative Web tool, and a bibliography maker using "Cite While You Write"(TM) formatting. EndNote has a web-based product called EndNote Web that can be used in place of the software product or as a supplement to it. Zotero is defined in its promotional materials as a "free, easy-to-use tool to help you collect, organize, cite, and share your research sources. Zotero is an extension for the Firefox web-browser. It runs in its own pane within Firefox, separately from web pages." There is a standalone version of Zotero that does not require Firefox to run but is in an alpha release only, so will not be included in these FDI sessions. This course is open to all faculty, staff and graduate students.

The purpose of these sessions is to provide a quick, hands-on introduction in using the basic elements of EndNote and Zotero so that you can decide if either is suitable for your research needs.
