Zotero

Zotero

 

Zotero is a free software you can use to:

  1. Save citations from Olin Library resources or the open Web;
  2. Organize citations;
  3. Format in-text citations and your References list in Microsoft Word;

It saves lots of time in the long run. To get started:

  1. Create an account: with a free Zotero account you can save and backup your citations in the cloud.
  2. Zotero for your desktop: Download the software, so you can save citations to your computer. You can download either Windows or Mac versions. Zotero Desktop is the main software you'll use to organize citations with.
  3. Web Importer: This is a plugin to your browser, so it can "translate" the information from the Web and save it Mendeley Desktop.
  4. Citation Plugin: This lets Mendeley talk to Microsoft Word, so you can add in-text citations and references into your paper. This way, you no longer have to type citations by hand.

For questions about setting up or using Zotero, consult their Help Guides, or contact your librarian for assistance.
