This hands-on workshop will introduce students to the modern, no-cost, digital note-taking tool, Obsidian (or Zettlr). Integrated with Zotero and used in an academic framework, these tools can foster productive research writing. The workshop will help students start practising the principles of a Zettelkasten technique to build a personal knowledge base of literature notes, interlinked ideas, long-form writing, visual concept maps, and more. It will show how to associate Obsidian notes with bibliographic information in Zotero as part of the research writing workflow. The workshop will revolve around Obsidian's structure as a markdown file editing tool, suited to short or longform notes stored as a knowledge graph or in a hierarchy. The workshop will include the option to use the tool Zettlr instead of Obsidian and will cover techniques for writing with Markdown and options for transforming notes into other digital forms. It does not require programming knowledge but participants should already be comfortable using Zotero.
