In this session, you will learn how to organize your information flow. You'll learn how to make the information that's important to you come to you automatically. We'll show you the tools you need to keep that information organized and accessible. We'll also cover copyright and plagiarism. Learn what you need to cite and what your rights are when people cite you.
