PGSS FTIR and PGSS AHIBS were pleased to conduct “Mendeley Reference Manager” Workshop on 7th August 2021 (Saturday) in collaboration with SPS UTM. This talk was aimed to train students on how to utilize Mendeley software as a good referencing manager for their literature review. It was an honor to have Ts Dr Wan Zuki Azman from UNIMAP who is also UTM alumni with us to share his professional knowledge and experience.

This workshop was promoted a week before the event and managed to have 85 participants to join us through online in Cisco Webex. Based on the participants’ feedback, the majority of them were satisfied with the sharings where the topic was deemed as practical and useful. With the help of the moderator, the Q&A sessions were successfully and the interaction between Dr Wan Zuki Azman and participants was lively. Participants also agreed that the objective of this workshop was met and practical even though it was conducted online.

Overall, “Mendeley Reference Manager” Workshop received excellent ratings from participants with many positive comments. Participants suggested to have more online workshops in future. Last but not least, participants appreciated the fruitful collaboration between PGSS AHIBS, PGSS FTIR and SPS to make this a fruitful event.
