Managing Collaborative Libraries with Zotero

For this session will shall count with the presence, via videoconference, of Simon Worthington and Loraine Furter, from HPC, in order to approach the Zotero program, a collaborative tool for the gathering, organization, quotation and sharing of hybrid references (books and other materials). We shall start with an introduction to Zotero and how it can be used/hacked to build webs and other projects. The introduction will be followed by a discussion with the participants and a collective work session.
For a better management of time we highly recommend you come to the session with the Zotero programme installed in your computer, with an account and the corresponding plugin for our browser.
Hybrid Public Consortium is the technological branch of Hybrid Publishing Lab, and its goal is to create public and accessible infrastructures for digital publishing.
