Personal content management tools help you get organized so you can work more efficiently and save time. Some tools help you organize all sorts of information (notes, pdfs, documents, images etc. etc.) and work more efficiently. Others let you annotate, cite, and/or share your content. In this session we'll show you tools for doing this while working solo or in a group. Register: http://libcal.mit.edu/event.php?id=191479
