Continuing Education
The OHLA Executive is pleased to announce a new collaborative initiative with the Ontario Library Association to provide OHLA continuing education sessions through the Education Institute. OHLA members will not require access to OTN to attend. Attendees will only require a computer, internet connection, and an internet browser with Adobe Connect supported. To ensure that your browser is supported, conduct the following test.
OHLA Education Institute sessions are free to OHLA members. Non-members may attend by becoming OHLA members or by paying an individual session fee. To register or inquire about fees, contact CE Coordinator Caitlin Carter.

Choosing the Right Citation Management Tool for Your Users
Date: Thursday, May 30th, from 2 – 3 p.m. EST
Presenters: Stephanie Sanger, Librarian at the Health Sciences Library at McMaster University, and Laura Bredahl, Librarian for Optometry, Vision Sciences and Biology at the University of Waterloo.
About this Session:
Citation management software helps keep references organized, allows the removal of duplicates when importing references from a number of databases, and can help build bibliographies. In academic and hospital libraries, students, faculty, and researchers often ask questions regarding the latest software to manage their large knowledge synthesis projects. This session will provide participants with basic knowledge of such tools as Zotero, Mendeley, RefWorks, and Endnote.
-Participants will learn basic knowledge about different citation management software tools
-Participants will be able to recommend one tool over the other for their specific user groups
-Participants will be able to export results from databases into these tools
