WiLS recently announced our partnership with PowerNotes to offer a new academic research tool to our members at a discount. Now they’re offering two web demos to show off this innovative product. Session details are below.
PowerNotes is a subscription-based Google Chrome (and soon Mozilla Firefox) extension that is designed to address the challenges inherent to source-based writing in the digital environment and seeks to improve writing quality with tools that provide an efficient and continuous workflow through the entire digital research and writing process. PowerNotes incorporates features that:
