Zotero

Zotero is a free, easy-to-use tool to help you collect, organize, cite, and share research. Top five good things about Zotero

  1. It is a nonprofit
  2. The free version doesn’t have ads and is reliable and usable
  3. It supports sharing articles and citations with colleagues without having to set up a Box folder
  4. It works online and can be installed on computers without Admin approval. References are where I need them when I need them. 
  5. It might be magic in its ability to detect metadata in pdf files. 

Faculty Writing Initiative

Facilitated by Dr. Jane Greer and Dr. Antonio Byrd, the Faculty Writing Initiative offers weekly structured writing time. The goal is for faculty to make substantial progress on writing projects – and ideally feel free of writing-guilt going into the weekend. 

Next for the Faculty Writing Initiative is the Summer Writing Bootcamp for Faculty. Faculty across all ranks are encouraged to apply. If you’re interested in participating in the Summer Writing Bootcamp for Faculty, complete an online application by April 10, 2020.  Applicants will be selected to ensure that the Bootcamp serves writers from all disciplines and across all ranks in university. [Read more]
