Your online presence tells a story about you to peers, collaborators, institutions and employers. In this workshop, we'll discuss how you can curate that online identity to tell the story that you want. We'll consider your goals for your online scholarly presence; look at what types of things your presence could include, such as shared publications & data, a website, social media, and researcher identifiers like ORCID; and steps to build the presence that you want.

Zotero is a tool to help you organize your research, especially your literature review materials.
