Visualizing data often allows us to see and study connections and correlations in health factors that might not otherwise be apparent. It also allows for impactful sharing of data on health outcomes, risk and disease burden over time by countries or regions. This session for beginners will be an overview of global health data visualization, focusing specifically on an introduction to the use of the IHME Global Burden of Disease data visualization tools.

Webinar 2: Introduction to Zotero for Citation Management
March 22, 2024 at 9:00 AM EST on Zoom
Presenter: Kathryn Vanderboll, MLIS

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.
