Mendeley
Mendeley is a free reference manager and academic social network. Users can manage and organize their references, create and share annotations, collaborate with other users, and discover new content in their areas of interest. You will want to download the desktop version and the Word plug-in, which allows you to add references you have added. The MSU Library Research Guide on Mendeley provides an overview and installation information. The video below highlights what it can do.
MSU University Outreach and Engagement
The Office of University Outreach and Engagement “facilitates university-wide efforts to create an ecosystem of engagement by supporting the engaged activities of faculty, staff, and students; fostering public access to university expertise and resources; and by advocating for exemplary engaged scholarship, nationally and internationally.” They offer many professional development opportunities for faculty and staff.
