"Knowledge Out of Chaos"

The University of St. Thomas 2012 Research Syposium was titled "Knowledge Out of Chaos." During the three day event, I was honored to present my graduate thesis investigating the impact of reading format on student comprehension.

Conference Ramblings

Attending the Texas Library Association Conference. "Revolutioning the Library" is providing attendees with so many great ideas for Web 2.0 tools. Glad I attended this session.

Research Tools

Writing a research paper is so much more manageable with the online tools available today. My two favorites are Dropbox  and RefWorks. Dropbox allows me to store my pdf research articles in the cloud for easy access from any location. The files can be organized into folders to conform to the various chapters in your paper. RefWorks provides citation creation as well as the indispensable "write and cite" feature. Having recently finished two papers (both over 35 pages in length), I have come to depend on these products.
