The document is a guide provided by Stephanie Brown from UNC's Park Library, outlining resources and strategies for conducting library research in MATC classes. It includes detailed instructions on using EBSCO for finding articles, utilizing interlibrary loan services, and tips for citation management with Zotero. The information is aimed at enhancing students' research skills and facilitating access to academic resources.
![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.

- 27. 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.
- 29. Install Zotero Download & 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
