Welcome back or welcome to the Pratters community!

Speaking of smart phones, download some of the great apps for college students!
Google Drive
Keep PDFs and other documents handy on your smart phone, just download the desktop app and save them into your drive to open on your phone's app!
Pocket
Clip articles in the Chrome extension to then sync with your phone's Pocket app
Evernote

EasyBib
Need help citing a book? Get the app and scan your books barcode and the app will generate your citation for you.
