Zotero citation manager: About
Zotero

Zotero (pronounced "zoh-TAIR-oh") is a free citation manager that works within your web browser to collect, manage, and cite research sources.

Zotero allows you to attach PDFs, notes, and images to your citations, organize them into collections for different projects, and create bibliographies.

It automatically updates itself periodically to work with new online sources and new bibliographic styles.

Here are some ways to get started with Zotero:

• Read this guide - the tabs above will walk you through the steps.
• Watch short tutorial videos on the Zotero website.
• Hands-on learner? Download Zotero now and start exploring - if you get stuck, come back to this guide or ask a librarian.
