Your Mobile Device for Research

You know it’s happened to you:  you have a looming deadline, and you’re stuck, wasting time, waiting in a doctor’s office or for the bus.  But wait!  You have your iPhone or your iPad with you, which means that you can conduct research at any time, from anywhere.  

This workshop will  show you how you can turn your mobile device into a fully-functional research machine by highlighting the best apps and mobile sites for finding scholarly literature, the best strategies for searching on a small screen, and the best methods for managing citations away from your desktop.  Bring your mobile device with you so that you can get started using your mobile device for research immediately!
