Zotero is an open-source citation manager that allows you to save information while searching and browsing the Web. With a single click, Zotero saves citations (as well as screen shots and documents) and enables you to create customized bibliographies in multiple citation styles, including MLA, Chicago, and APA.
This workshop will be structured in three parts. You are welcome to attend whichever parts will be useful to you.
Getting Started (12:10-1:00): Installing Zotero, syncing data, using WebDAV for storage, and installing word processor plug-ins
Zotero Basics (1:10-2:00): The Zotero library, adding items to your library, using collections to organize your library, using tags to organize your library, metadata options, sorting and searching, and outputting a bibliography
Zotero Intermediate (2:10-3:00): Using the word processor plug-ins, changing the citation style, using Zotero with Google Docs, extracting data from PDFs, collaborating with Group Libraries, and adding attachments to citations.
