As the Fall semester starts, librarians get really busy and it’s sometimes hard to find the time to keep updated on the latest technologies. We understand. Give us 40 minutes of your time on the 29th and we’ll give you a quick primer on what you need to know to answer any questions that arise.

There will be two sessions, one at 12 noon and one at 8 PM EDT, to accommodate the US, UK, and East Asia. The earlier session will focus on more advanced topics, while the later one is appropriate for folks with no prior experience. Please download and install Mendeley before the session so you’ll be able to ask your questions during the event.

We’ll discuss topics such as:

• What Mendeley is (and what it’s not)
• Who’s using Mendeley
• How Mendeley works with your existing information systems
• Mendeley and intellectual property
• Mendeley’s role in the future of libraries

William Gunn, PhD & Head of Academic Outreach will be conducting this session. There will be plenty of time for questions after and during the session. Please download and install Mendeley before the session begins. If this time doesn’t work for you, please check out the session schedule below or see our events page for an event near you. We will put up a recording of the session afterwards, so check this post or our Youtube channel.
