Learn how to use Zotero — an open-source research tool for creating bibliographies. The open-source Zotero research tool allows scholars to create bibliographies easily, but its capabilities also extend to broader areas of research management, note-taking, and sharing research. Participants will learn how to directly import catalog and journal records into Zotero, attach PDFs and other files, create notes, organize projects, and back up research online. Please bring your own laptop or borrow one from the 1st Floor Circulation Desk.
