00:00:00.800 --> 00:00:03.920
Let's take a look at how you can 
access the course reading materials.

00:00:04.560 --> 00:00:08.160
I'm using the Zotero reference 
management software for my work  

00:00:08.160 --> 00:00:12.160
and I also use that to 
distribute materials for you.

00:00:12.160 --> 00:00:15.040
The reason for this choice is convenience.

00:00:15.680 --> 00:00:19.360
I give you lots of material 
so basically everything that I  

00:00:19.360 --> 00:00:23.280
cite in any of the model 
answers in any of the videos  

00:00:23.920 --> 00:00:29.440
as long as I have the rights to share it, it 
is going to be listed in this library here.

00:00:29.440 --> 00:00:35.360
So you will get lots of readings and I also 
have readings that are used on other courses.

00:00:35.360 --> 00:00:39.760
I have readings there that i have used 
on the previous versions of the course.

00:00:39.760 --> 00:00:45.520
So this is basically a big library from 
which you can find all the materials.

00:00:45.520 --> 00:00:51.200
At the time of recording the library is 
about 300 and between 300 and 400 items. 

00:00:51.760 --> 00:00:53.120
It's a lot of stuff.

00:00:53.120 --> 00:00:56.400
Sometimes I find an interesting article about  

00:00:56.400 --> 00:01:01.840
some technique or some research design that 
I decide I want to share to my students.

00:01:01.840 --> 00:01:07.600
Or that I want to use in the next run of the 
course I will add it to the library as well.

00:01:08.240 --> 00:01:11.840
You can access this library in two different ways. 

00:01:12.400 --> 00:01:17.600
You can use the website zotero.org.
You create your user account,  

00:01:17.600 --> 00:01:21.440
you send the user name to me.
I'll invite you to the library.

00:01:22.000 --> 00:01:26.960
Then you accept the invitation that 
you get by email and after that  

00:01:26.960 --> 00:01:32.080
you can access the library by the groups tag, 
there's a statistical research methods library.

00:01:32.960 --> 00:01:37.280
Another way of using this is to install 
the Zotero software on your computer.

00:01:37.280 --> 00:01:41.680
So this is what the soft software looks like.
So it's a database of articles. 

00:01:41.680 --> 00:01:46.800
It's a reference management software like endnote 
but it's free and it's a really good one too.

00:01:47.520 --> 00:01:51.680
And how do you get these articles 
to appear on your computer. 

00:01:52.240 --> 00:01:55.440
You need to set up synchronization for Zotero.

00:01:55.440 --> 00:02:00.720
So basically you open the settings.
This kind of dialog opens. 

00:02:00.720 --> 00:02:06.240
You find the sync tab here and then 
you enter username and password here. 

00:02:06.240 --> 00:02:09.920
And then you press on this 
synchronization arrow here  

00:02:09.920 --> 00:02:12.560
and then it downloads all the 
materials on your computer.

00:02:13.440 --> 00:02:20.160
I have screencasts on how to use this 
software when you write but you don't need to. 

00:02:20.160 --> 00:02:26.400
If you like using endnote or some other software 
for your written assignments you can do so. 

00:02:26.400 --> 00:02:31.040
But we use this for distributing materials 
because that's just so convenient
