The workshop examines the shifting landscape of networked scholarship generally. If you've heard all the hype about Web 2.0 but don't see how it affects academic work, this workshop offers a solid overview.

Featured tools will include:

• Zotero, a free Firefox extension for compiling sources
• Wikis, collaborative writing environments also useful for presentations, research, book projects and more
• Google Docs and Alerts, for easy collaboration and research
• del.icio.us and furl, for easy, social bookmarking
• RSS feeds for research

The workshop presumes no previous experience with these kinds of tools. Lab computers are PCs. If you'd rather bring your own computer, please do.
