IFRA-Nigeria is organising a two-hour training session on Zotero, an application for managing references, on Monday, 14 December 2026, at 10:00 am.
The training will introduce participants to Zotero's main features and functionalities, including its integration with Microsoft Word. It will also explore practical strategies for tracking academic literature and identifying open-access publications.
The training is open to Master's students, PhD students, lecturers and staff of the University of Ibadan libraries. If the number of applications exceeds the available places, priority will be given to students and lecturers in the Humanities and Social Sciences. Participating library staff and lecturers will be expected to encourage and support their students and library users in adopting Zotero or similar reference management applications.
Participants who have access to a computer are strongly encouraged to bring it along and install Zotero before the training session. The application can be downloaded free of charge from the official Zotero Website. Students who do not currently have access to a computer are also welcome to participate.
Interested participants are invited to complete the online application form before Monday, 23 November 2026, at 12:00 noon: https://forms.gle/YMdBZkBbNfxwdG819
