About Zotero

What Zotero Does

Zotero is a Firefox addon that collects, manages, and cites research sources. It's easy to use, lives in your web browser where you do your work, and best of all it's free. Zotero allows you to attach PDFs, notes and images to your citations, organize them into collections for different projects, and create bibliographies using Word or OpenOffice.

Since it's a Firefox plugin, it automatically updates itself periodically to work with new online sources and new bibliographic styles.

Getting and Installing Zotero

Zotero will run on any operating system. It requires Mozilla Firefox. Installation only takes a few seconds.

Open http://www.zotero.org/ and click the red "Download" button. Click "Install Now" and follow the instructions. If you see the message “Firefox prevented this site from asking you to install software on your computer," click "Edit Options," then "Allow" and "Close." Download Zotero again and it should work. Restart Firefox and you're all set! You'll see a small Zotero button at the bottom of your Firefox window.

If you have any problems, check the Zotero installation page.

You'll probably also want to download and install the Microsoft Word citation plugin or the OpenOffice plugin. These allow you to easily cite items from your Zotero library in your papers.
