Collecting, Managing, and Sharing Information and its Sources with Citation Managers
John PellAssistant ProfessorHunter College Libraries
+Scholarship in the Digital Age:
The Internet made a lot of things very simple. Bibliographies aren't among them. J. Kronholz
Kronholz J. Bibliography mess: the Internet wreaks havoc with the form: how do you cite a Web page? that's a matter of debate; arguing over a period. Wall Street Journal. May 2, 2002:A1, A6. As cited in:Iverson C, Christiansen S, Flanagin A, et al. AMA Manual of Style: A Guide for Authors and Editors. 10th ed. New York, NY: Oxford University Press; 2007.
+The Big (Information Literacy) PictureWhy teach or learn about things like citation management?
+Information Literacy
Using technologies to extract, record, and manage information and its sources is an ACRL Information Literacy Performance Indicator. “Information Literacy Competency Standards for Higher Education”,
n.d. http://www.ala.org/acrl/standards/informationliteracycompetency.
+Citation Management Competencies:
Collecting and Organizing Metadata for Citations
Inserting and Formatting References According to the Style Guides of Academic Publications
Sharing and Collaborating Online
+Metadata?
Often explained as, “data about data” although there are people that bicker about this definition.
For our purposes, you may think of it as an abstraction of useful descriptive content taken from the source of that content.
Some examples of possible metadata elements: Author Date of Publication Title of Document Subject Terms
+A View of Metadata You Are Probably Already Familiar With:
The problem with this type of presentation of metadata is that it
does not meet the needs of scholarly communication. That is one of the
problems citation managers are meant to solve.
+A View of Metadata Through A Citation Manager:
The citation manager Provides a view of metadata tailored to
the needs of scholarly researchers and writers.

Case Study: ZoteroA close look at how Zotero implements citation management, from the user’s perspective.
+Collecting and Exporting Metadata
Downloading Metadata for PDFs
Scraping metadata from websites
Importing Metadata from a text file
Retrieving Metadata with an Identifier such as an ISBN, DOI, or PMID
+Downloading Metadata for PDFs
+Downloading Metadata for PDFs
You can add PDFs to your Zotero library and have
Zotero retrieve the metadata.
+Downloading Metadata for PDFs
Once you have the files in your library, select them,
right click, and chose, “Retrieve Metadata for
PDFs.”
+Downloading Metadata for PDFsZotero will attempt to
retrieve metadata for your files from Google Scholar using the article’s DOI. (note that the file must
have OCRed text.)
Once the data is retrieved, the PDF will be associated with the article’s author, title, etc. in your Zotero
library.
+Scraping Metadata from a Website
+Scraping Metadata from a Website
As a plug-in for Firefox, you can view your Zotero library as a section of your browser window by clicking this icon.
+Scraping Metadata from a Website
When Zotero recognizes data that it can capture, you can click this icon to save a record of the data.
With web pages, the record will include a snapshot of
the page.
+Scraping Metadata from a WebsiteZotero also works with
many web-based databases (Web of Science
shown here.)
You can attach files to your records in order to
keep articles handy- right click the record and select
“Add Attachment”
+Importing Metadata From a Text File
+Importing Metadata From a Text File
If you have a text file of citation data (from
RefWorks, for example) You can import that into
Zotero.
+Importing Metadata from a File
To import the file, select “Import” from the action
menu.
+Importing Metadata from a File
Importing works for the following file types and can be quite useful for transferring citation data from other software platforms such as RefWorks, EndNote, and Mendelay Zotero RDF MODS (Metadata Object Description Schema) BibTeX RIS Refer/BibIX Unqualified Dublin Core RDF
+Retrieving Metadata with an Identifier
+Retrieving Metadata with an Identifier
It is possible to retrieve metadata using an identifier
such as an ISBN, DOI, or PMID. This feature is very useful
when you want to cite books.
