Tools: Evernote, Zotero, Hypothesis, Scalar.

Knowledge Management 

By this point in the course you should feel comfortable using the web-annotation app, Hypothesis, and the digital publishing platform, Scalar. I'd now like to introduce Evernote and Zotero. Both are powerful knowledge management tools. Zotero helps you collect, organize, cite, and share your research sources. Coupled with its web-browser connector and Word plugin, Zotero makes it easy to construct libraries, cite sources, and build bibliographies. While Zotero serves a very specific function, Evernote can be used for a variety of different ends. To name just a few, it can be used as a digital file cabinet, note-taking tool, journal, and/or project managements system. 

Assignment

As a class, create a shared Zotero library and Evernote notebook titled "Practicum." Use the library and notebook to collect, organize and discuss research materials for our final project on the history of A-State University.
