Thing 8

I signed up for CiteULike. It was easy to do, I just did the basic signup (not the advanced option). I was disappointed that the first journal I tried to put in an abstract from was not on the accepted list. I didn't bother to do it manually. I then tried another journal which worked. Tagging was easy but I could see from the suggested tag list that I wasn't using anything quite like those, so I don't know how helpful this will be. One thing--the 8 things instructions say that when you create your account, you should click on the option to allow CiteULike to stay open even after closing your browser. I couldn't find this at first and when I tested it, it wouldn't work without signing back in. But as I logged back in, the option was there and was already clicked, so I expect it'll work from now on.
I also signed up for a RefWorks account. Looks more complicated to use, so I didn't do anything more with it at this point. It will likely take a lot more time to fully explore it. It would be helpful to take one of the classes the librarians say they will be doing in the future.
I'm not sure how much I will use reference sharing. I don't think it will have a big impact on my work life.
I spent about 45 minutes on thing 8.
