Zotero
Zotero [zoh-TAIR-oh] is a free, easy-to-use Firefox extension to help you collect, manage, cite, and share your research sources.
It lives right where you do your work—in the web browser itself.
- Click the Zotero icon in the bottom-right corner of your browser window to open your Zotero library.
- This brings up a pane with all of your references, collections, and notes.
- You can close Zotero by clicking on the X icon in the upper right of the Zotero window or by clicking on the logo again.
- The Zotero window does not have to be open for you to do “quick saves” of material you want to add to your research collection.
