First of all, auditors can disregard for the most part.  Second, you should have received an email inviting you to join Zotero, a fascinating interface that allows you to gather cites, organize them, insert them into your essays with the proper MLA (or whatever) formatting, etc.  In this way, it’s much like EndNote or Mendeley or RefWorks or other flavors of bibliographic software.  You can either access it exclusively via your web browser or (and I recommend this second option) download Zotero “standalone,” which is a nice little app that runs on your computer, so you can store and manage the material on your computer/s and have Zotero automatically back them up and sync (if you use more than one computer) via its server.

But it’s got a social dimension built in, and this functionality (along with its being free, open-source, and designed by academics for scholarly, nonprofit use) sets it apart.  So once you join the “Faulkner” folder I’ve set up (instructions should be in the aforementioned email), you can access scores of cites I’ve already gathered to help you with your research.  You can also (once you get the hang of it) add to this folder, so that we all benefit from each person’s research.

I’ll help out with this in more detail later on (and for the BAs, we’ll examine it during the library session, when we have one terminal/student). But I wanted to let you get started, especially as you tackle your first Yoknapedia entries.
