The Problem… Keeping track of websites, articles, gray literature, and books for
scholarly (and practitioner) research can be difficult and require complex and/or multiple systems
Reference manager software = $-$$$
Research is often collaborative – but most reference management solutions are not (or at least not very…)
Value: building up a library of references and papers to have on hand for use (including after degree(s) earned and library access no longer guaranteed)
Value: archiving not just articles & bibliographic data, but also document meaning and significance – and making it all easily findable and accessible
What is Zotero?* A reference manager Works with open webpages and article databases (many
automatically through Zotero Site translators) and more Interoperable: Can import and export citations to EndNote and
other reference manager formats (via RIS standard) using multiple citation styles
Web-based collaboration and discovery/recommender tools
includes Microsoft Word 2003/7 plug-in for attaching citations (in “correct” style) to documents; also works with OpenOffice
Added value beyond citation: Allows tags, notes, and screenshots to be associated with articles & other resources
Can attach (and search) associated PDFs, and attach other items

Adding Items to Your Zotero Library
A word about preferences…
Open URL and Site Translators
Link Resolver(provides access to an appropriate copy for your users, if available, when it recognizes embedded COinSmetadata)
Adding a PubMed record – Open URL-compatible w/ site translator
Zotero Item Record from browser-bar automatic capture (Open URL)
Does not capture everything that you might want…
Adding from a PMID, DOI, ISBN
11
Zotero Item Record from DOI capture
Notice this one did not capture all important data – this will have to be filled in manually (why?)
Options for Adding Items to Your Zotero Library
In a Zotero-compatible database (Open URL and has Zotero SiteTranslator) Look for the icon in browser URL box
From a Zotero-compatible publisher Look for the icon in your browser URL box Generally will also download fulltext article PDF if available and
appropriate Zotero setting preference has been set From a PMID, DOI or ISBN
Paste in the number using Add Item by Identifier From a database that allows you to export reference files (via
EndNote/.ris format) Email the .RIS file to yourself then open or import it into your Z library;
Does Not Always Work, so have a backup! From the export as .RIS option in your link resolver
Email the .RIS file to yourself then open or import it into your Z library; Does Not Always Work so have a backup!
Manually – email yourself all the info or write it down; add later From a website (some websites have their own Zotero translators, e.g.
Flickr, YouTube, The New York Times) -
Beyond the Article…
Available item formats
Writing and Citing: Citation Styles
Many citation styles available
Writing and Citing: Formatting Using Zotero in Word

Added Value…
Saving webpages Webpage screenshots that can be
highlighted and annotated
Collections, subcollections, and group collections Tags and the tag selector box Notes Related – associate related items Locate and View
Searching: The Database of Me PDF, txt, and RTF basic and advanced Saved searches
Tags: Organize and Connect
Filter by one or more tags
Add or edit tags – note autosuggest for consistency; tags can be content or process
Notes: The Workhorse Tool
Why did you add this article, anyway?
Search: The Database of You
Bibliographical info, tags, and notes Attached files that are PDF, txt, or RTF (!!!!) If a file isn’t a PDF you can convert it then upload and attach it If you scan a document it will be an image file – you can attach
it to a Zotero item record and then view it, read it, or print it in your Zotero library, but you can’t search inside its contents – you’ll need to convert it to PDF (Adobe Acrobat Professional, etc.)
Saved seaches – another way to filter
Zotero in the Cloud (2.x)
Requires creating a Zotero account Can sync your own sources between different computers (and
even save documents online with freemium storage options) Warning: It’s all or nothing at this time…
Can create groups and share citations with others (publicly or privately)
Can find and follow others with similar interests and use their public Zotero libraries as databases to find good resources – and add them to your library Profile and group search is pretty wretched at this time…
Can back your resources up on the Web (NOT a substitute for other methods of backing up!)
