Zotero

Zotero is a free and open-source reference manager - add citations, organize into collections, cite and create bibliographies, use with writing programs, and share and sync.

  • Download the Zotero program to your personal computer. Although later you'll be able to use Zotero on the web, you need to start with Zotero Desktop.
  • Install the Zotero Connector - a free add-on for your browser to easily import webpages into Zotero.
    • The Library recommends NOT enabling proxy redirection -- instead, use Lean Library.

Zotero and Chromebooks: Zotero Desktop is difficult to use with a Chromebook. If a Chromebook is your primary computer, we recommend Refworks instead. Read this Library FAQ entry for more information.
