How to Select and Use Citation Management Tools: Zotero

This guide contains information on different tools that will make citing sources in your papers easier.

Zotero Overview

What is Zotero?

Zotero is an application that helps you collect and store your citation information for later use in papers and bibliographies. You can link to or attach PDF files to your citations then use Zotero's Word plug-in for one-click in-text citations as you write. When you're finished, another one-click installs your completed bibliography. The program also lets you create and share libraries with others.
