Zotero Trainer Workshop, Seattle, February 25-26
We are now accepting applications for the third Zotero trainers workshop, to be held February 25-26th at the University of Washington in Seattle. Participants in this workshop will develop a solid understanding of Zotero’s capabilities and how those capabilities can best meet their users’ needs. Beyond acquiring a detailed understanding of the program, participants will learn: best-practices for demo-ing and supporting Zotero at their institution; approaches for developing institution-specific documentation; and steps for migrating user data to and from other research management tools.
“For anyone considering working with Zotero – a game-changer, in my opinion – this workshop is essential. I not only expanded my knowledge of how Zotero works, but now I’m also able to teach our member libraries how, when, and why Zotero is an invaluable research management tool for the communities they serve.”- Jason Kucsma, Emerging Technologies Manager, Metropolitan New York Library Council
Whether or not you can attend the workshop, consider joining the Zotero evangelist Google group, which sustains an ongoing conversation between workshop participants and other Zotero trainers.
The cost to attend the workshop is $350, and due to the hands-on nature of these workshops, enrollment is limited. The Zotero team will be accepting applications through December 4th and applications will be considered according to the following criteria:
1. Your current or future role in representing Zotero on your campus
2. Your institution’s plans for, or interest in, adopting Zotero
3. Maximum representation of different institutions: we will most likely only accept one or two individuals from any single institution.
Application details and forms are located here, and applicants will receive confirmation of their acceptance by December 11th, 2009.
