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.

Help! I’m an Accidental Government Information Librarian presents ... Order in the Court Records: Finding Briefs, Transcripts, and other Court Materials
Library patrons have many reasons to ask for help with finding court filings: from tracking the progress of a pending lawsuit, to digging up centuries-old court materials for genealogical research, and countless other academic or personal pursuits in between. The unpublished nature of many court materials can make such research very challenging for librarians. But before you refer your patrons elsewhere, hear some tips and tricks for locating court opinions, briefs, filings, and other materials related to court cases from all levels of courts in both state and federal systems.

Tue, Jun 02, 2015 at 10AM – 11AM Pacific / 1PM Eastern
http://www.trainingmagnetwork.com/events/439
Have you ever had an important meeting with your boss and diligently took notes as if you’re transcribing the entire conversation? Have you ever anticipated taking notes at a conference keynote session because you were looking forward to the person speaking? How often do you go back and read your own notes, though? Chances are we don't revisit our notes very often. Why do we take notes if we don’t intend to do anything with them? Our intentions and our motivation are there, but most often we end up looking hazily at our own handwriting trying to decipher a note.
