On a daily basis, librarians support and answer countless
questions from students and researchers on the most efficient and effective way
to identify and manage reference information. Modern day librarians need to
consider not only the scholarly need of citation management but also consider
how such a citation management tool can support extensive research
collaboration requirements. Therefore, most librarians feel a strong need to
keep abreast of the newest researcher tools available in the market. This webinar
features librarians from Carnegie Mellon University and University of
Pittsburgh discussing why they decided to invest resources in Mendeley and what
kind of impact it had in their universities. They will share experiences with
previous tools and how research collaboration and data analytics tools in
Mendeley support their research objectives as well as shape the researcher
services they provide.</div>

What is digital literacy? Supporting digital literacy
remains an important part of library staff members' work, but sometimes we
struggle to agree on a simple, meaningful definition of the term.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Join Paul Signorelli in this new eCourse that will begin by exploring
a variety of definitions and will focus on work that fosters digital literacy
among people of all ages and backgrounds. Signorelli will then explore a
variety of digital-literacy resources, including case studies of how we
creatively approach these learning opportunities, and will also explore a
variety of digital tools that will help to encourage further understanding of
this topic.</div>
