Advanced Research Note-Taking with Obsidian
This workshop will introduce Obsidian, a markdown-based note-taking app that helps you organize your personal knowledge base. We will demonstrate how to create and edit markdown files to easily format your notes. We will then dive in to several of the functions and plug-ins in Obsidian that make it easier for you to organize, link, and search your recorded thoughts. Finally, we will demonstrate how you can link Obsidian to Zotero to help you connect research notes to items in your personal library.
