Zotero setup

How to set Zotero Application preferences:

• Open Zotero by clicking on the icon on your desktop
• On a PC go to the “Tools” menu in the upper left-hand corner of the window; then click “Preferences”. On a Mac, go to the main Zotero menu and click “Preferences”.
• Click on the “General” icon; check “Automatically attach associated PDFs...”
• Click on the “Sync” icon; enter your Zotero username and password (which you created when you registered)
• Click on the “Search” icon; install PDF indexing
• Click on the “Export” icon; choose Default Style Output.  
• Click on the “Advanced” icon. If you click “Search for resolvers”, several will be loaded into the drop-down list. You’ll have to trial and error until one of the options matches this URL (http://TV3VM4CY6V.search.serialssolutions.com).
