This document discusses two browser extensions - LibX and Zotero - that help with research. LibX allows users to search library resources directly from any webpage and identifies citations and links. Zotero is a tool to collect, organize, cite, and share research sources. It syncs across devices and allows for notes and tagging. The document argues these tools should be taught to support lifelong learning and ease of use for researchers.

30. Why aren’t we teaching these now? - We spend $ on products - We think they won’t ever visit our websites again (or us) - Browser specific

31. Why should we be teaching these now? - It’s about life long learning - It’s about ease for the user
