Students have two options for citation management, PowerNotes and RefWorks. PowerNotes is managed through CDS and is not part of the library.
From CDS:
PowerNotes is an online research platform designed to help students address 3 problems encountered by students and digital researchers: screen reading and comprehension, managing voluminous resources and information; and protecting the integrity of sources to ensure accurate citation while avoiding patchwriting and plagiarism.
PowerNotes unifies the steps of reading, saving, annotating, organizing, outlining, and citing research into a single, efficient workflow that feeds directly into genre expectations of different disciplines, whether a survey of literature in the field or framing and parsing a research question. It guides doctoral students to plan for and intuitively develop an annotated bibliography and literature review in their respective fields.
With robust commenting and sharing features, PowerNotes makes the work and practices that researchers are engaged in visible and allows peers and review committees to guide further work and revision. By reinforcing the integrity of source use and collection, PowerNotes helps doctoral students develop processes for digital reading and research that is integrated, purposeful, and rhetorical, and it eases their entry into the conversations in their respective fields.
You are provided with a complimentary PowerNotes account to assist and review shared student notes. Please use the PowerNotes access point at the top of the course to create or access your account. Access the PowerNotes resource page to review account creation and how to use PowerNotes successfully.
