This three-hour session aims to help you leverage some simple software tools to kick-start your literature review.

The course will start with an review of library and literature searching techniques including creating appropriate search strategies and using appropriate databases.

We will explore the use of Firefox with Zotero for building a database of literature – the bibliographic database – and some Zotero plugins that will give us useful added functionality.

We will learn how to annotate PDFs from Zotero and how to extract and report on annotations to produce rich reports of the literature.

This is a bring your own device session and if you bring a laptop with an up-to-date installation of Firefox you will be able to install the software to be used and practise the techniques described.
