Tired of hopping between Google Scholar, Amazon, and library  catalogs
and databases? Can't find that great article you meant to  read later?
Need better ways of sharing scholarly resources within  your group?

Come hear about some new web tools that may help you work more
efficiently. Learn to organize and share your references, catalog your
personal book collections online, and search seamlessly between
library resources and other web sites.

We will demo: LibraryThing, del.icio.us, CiteULike, library-relevant
Firefox extensions, and more.
