Managing Your References Using Mendeley

Presenter: Carol Cooke ([email protected])

Description: This workshop will introduce you to Mendeley - a reference manager you can use to organize your research and streamline your academic writing experience. In this workshop, we'll introduce you to the fundamental features of Mendeley, enabling you to efficiently collect, organize, annotate, and cite your academic resources. We'll guide you through the process of importing references from various sources, and generating bibliographies for assignments and manuscripts.

Note: I was experiencing some technical difficulties during this session most of which were due to a poor internet connection.
