From a Current MATC Student• If you need to find articles on a specific subject, meet with Stephanie
so she can show you some tricks in using the search tools.
• Even if you think you know what you’re doing (like I did), I guarantee she will show you tools you didn’t know of and help you find relevant articles that you were unable to find.
• You can reserve books through the UNC library website and have them held and reserved for you at the Park Library [or mailed to you at home!].
• I was able to find some of our course books that way and saved myself some time and money.

Notes / Difficulties
How long did it take you to do this part?
Question You Didn’t Know You Had• How will I manage & format all the articles I find?
• You will identify LOTS of articles you want to read now, or later …• Articles you want to use in Research Methods or for your thesis• You will need to format them in APA or MLA citation style.
• Yipes – that sounds time-consuming!
• Save time with Zotero.• Save citations into a folder• Reformat them into hundreds of citation styles, including APA,
MLA, and more.
Install ZoteroDownload & install Zotero to your browser of choice.1. Install Zotero from zotero.org
(instructions on next slide)• FireFox preferred• Other browsers require “Zotero Standalone”
2. Watch video by former Park Library staffer about Zotero at http://guides.lib.unc.edu/matc716/zotero
