Recording of the presentation (aprox. 40 min.)
This session will explore some of the free and affordable Mac applications for various academic tasks, such as bibliographic management, note taking, semi-structured writing, and the management and annotation of journal articles and other digital files.
These Mac applications tend to be smaller applications optimized for specific tasks. They work well with other applications and files can easily pass between them. Many academic users have put together their own customized suite of applications, which work best for their particular writing and research needs.
