Academic Productivity workshop – October 3

Abe Crystal and I are teaming up to bring an academic productivity workshop to UNC.  From 10-11:30 on the morning of Friday, October 3, we’re going to open the floor for ten-minute talks on productivity – particularly the tools and methods we use to get our work done.  I’m probably going to talk about literature searches and alerts, a favorite time-saver of mine.

While this event is SILS-centric, it is open to members of the community.  You can find out more information about the workshop over at the wiki – http://academicproductivity.pbwiki.com/.
