Introduction to Research Collaboration in Google.mp4

Getting Started with Google

First and foremost: ALL of the tools listed below and that we tend to use (Drive, Docs, etc.) work best in the Google Chrome browser. You may need to log in to Gmail/Catmail with your Catmail accounts to access our files and any UA tools.

Here's some training to work through:

Brief Introduction to Google Drive for UA Students
Uploading files to Google Drive (such as your articles)
- A list of step by step instructions
- A video (it's super short and really clear)
- Google has excellent help resources for each tool we’re using as well, here’s a quick link to each of those: Drive, Docs/Sheets/Slides. Searching YouTube for a short video of something will also usually get you going very quickly.

Recommended Tools...

...for Reference Management: PaperPile (easy to use & has great Google Docs integration, but costs $ after free trial) or a UA Solution or Zotero (free*, wonderful, BUT difficult to set up and get comfortable with for most...*you can set it up to store files in the cloud so you'll never need to pay for their storage).
