About Zotero

What Zotero Does
Zotero is a program that collects, manages, and cites research sources. It's easy to use, and is available as a standalone program OR an add-on to your Firefox web browser, 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.

Getting and Installing Zotero

Zotero will run on any operating system. Installation only takes a few seconds.

Open http://www.zotero.org/ and click the red "Download Now" button. You have a choice to download the current version for Firefox, OR choose one of the standalone releases. Choose the version you want and follow the instructions for FIREFOX or for Standalone. If you download the Firefox plugin, you need to 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.

If you choose the Firefox version, 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.

If you choose the Standalone version, you'll want to download the plugin for Google Chrome or Safari or Firefox.
