Zotero setup: What is Zotero?

Zotero is a free bibliographic manager that is available as an online interface or downloadable standalone version. Zotero was created by the Center for History and New Media @ George Mason University. Extensions for Chrome, Firefox, and Safari allow you to easily save citations you find online. With Zotero you can:

• Store references in one place
• Keep reading notes linked to sources
• Download citations directly from databases
• Automatically format bibliographies and citations in MLA, APA, Chicago Manual of Style, and many other styles using Microsoft Word and Open Office
• Share your collections with colleagues
• Access your Zotero library from any location and remotely back up and sync your library.
