The most valuable learning I gained from this week in EDCI on the topic of curations is Jessica Mussell’s video on the use of Zotero for curation and citation. Zotero is an online tool for citation management. This tool creates citations and bibliographies instantly from various sources, and it is adaptable to every style that a person may need. From my experience in academia thus far, I have only used APA, therefore this is the style in which I would set Zotero on my browser.
As a university student, proper citation and referencing is extremely important to follow in order to abide by academic integrity, as mentioned in my blog post 2. An online citation manager, such as Zotero, would be very helpful in ensuring I have correctly cited all of my sources and avoid the risk of plagiarism. I appreciate the simplicity of this software and I definitely see myself using Zotero for citation help in the future.
