One-on-one sessions dedicated to developing information retrieval strategies and apply them to your research topic

During an individual session, specialised librarians help you develop a methodology and strategies for searching information in the library collections and in electronic resources (online catalogues, bibliographic databases, electronic journals, Internet) and apply these strategies using examples drawn from your research subject.

Book a personalized training to Zotero (specific for your discipline)

Non linear note taking

Remnote is a freely accessible tool developed for non-linear note-taking and spaced repetition learning. What is non-linear note-taking? It is the very useful ability to connect concepts and topics across any note that you take (literature review, course, etc.), providing a structure to accumulated knowledge based on the ideas and concepts themselves rather than the sequences in which the notes were taken or the structure of the base material. Remnote also proposes a built-in tool for "spaced repetition learning" which helps you beat the infamous forgetting curve.
