Fogler Library Classroom 2

November is National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo), and Fogler Library will host three Write-Ins open to anyone participating in NaNoWriMo. Write-Ins are informal gatherings that give writers the opportunity to work alongside other NaNoWriMo participants. No RSVP is necessary, and writers can attend as many or as few sessions as they would like. Please share this with any students or colleagues who are interested in writing a novel as part of NaNoWriMo.

2. Citation Manager Workshops
Large research projects, especially theses and dissertations, involve extensive use of a variety of publications. It’s difficult to locate and organize these materials and their citations, and to represent these references in the required format. Citation managers can be a big help on this side of the research process. This semester, Fogler Library will host both general citation management workshops and workshops focused on specific citation managers.

Fall 2019 Citation Manager Workshops:

  • Zotero: Getting Started, November 13, 6:00 – 8:00 pm. Attend via Zoom.
  • Mendeley: Getting Started, November 14, 4:00 – 6:00 pm. Attend via Zoom.

3. Supervised Machine Learning Workshop Canceled
