Private Secretary

I joined as Private Secretary to Vice-Chancellor in the second week of May 2011. It was a surprise call by Prof. V.G. Talawar inquiring about my opinion to take up the new assignment. I was thrilled. In fact, I wanted some change. I got it when I just needed.

My past two months experience is great. I am learning many things over here. Lot of people to talk to, lot of work to do, lot of fun as well.

English Improvement Resource

We constantly encounter problems in usage of words. Chicago Manual of Style is a resource which helps to overcome this problem. I have subscribed (free) for their Question and Answer (Q&A). It helps me to get answers for many doubts. Today, I just visited the site http://www.chicagomanualofstyle.org/CMS_FAQ/qatopics.html.

Reference Manager Software

I have been working with a few referencing software. I am yet to master one! I find new features in each of them. I am interested only in open source version. The reason is obvious. I don't have enough penny to purchase the commercial ones. Some of the software that I am working include Zotero, Mendeley, JabRef, CiteUlike, Bibme, RefWorks, Referencer(Linux), Connotea, etc.
