Join the committee to promote medical librarianship in Wisconsin’s information schools!

WHSLA is looking for volunteers to participate in a committee interested in outreach to the UW-Madison iSchool and UW-Milwaukee School of Information Studies. The goal of this committee is to develop a connection between Wisconsin’s information schools and WHSLA for the promotion of job shadowing opportunities, practicum/fieldwork placements, and interest in medical librarianship as a profession.

If you are interested in participating, please email Barb Ruggeri (barbara dot ruggeri at aah dot org) or Hayley Severson (hseveron at mcw dot edu) by April 10^th.

Are you struggling to organize the sources that you've found for your research (journal articles, books, websites, reports, videos, and more)? Do you want to share those sources with your colleagues around the world? Do you spend hours trying to format your bibliography? Join us for this workshop to learn about Zotero, a free citation management tool! You will learn to:

·  Create and organize personal and group libraries,

·  Invite collaborators to view or contribute to those libraries,

·  Annotate the PDFs you read,

·  Add a bibliography and in-text citations in your Google Docs or Microsoft Word document. 

Please note: To use Zotero, you will need a desktop or laptop computer - not a Chromebook or tablet - capable of downloading software. However, this is not required during the workshop.  REGISTER HERE
