Zotero is a free citation management application produced by the nonprofit Corporation for Digital Scholarship. With Zotero, you can capture citations from your web browser using a plug-in and store them in the Zotero software you download to your computer.  You can also sync your citation library with an online Zotero account so you can access your saved resources anywhere, even if you're using a different computer.

Key Features of Zotero:

• You can store PDFs and other file types right in the Zotero client (free up to 300 MB of storage).
• Extract citation information right from the web using browser plug-ins or create references manually.
• Organize your references into different folders for each class, project, etc.
• Using word processor plug-ins, easily cite your references in-text and let Zotero automatically build your bibliography/works cited page as you go.

Myrin Library's discovery system, OneSearch, has a number of tools to help you manage your references.

• Cite tool
  • For any record in OneSearch, click the Cite button to format the reference in any number of citation styles or export the record to the citation manager of your choice, including Zotero.
• Save a Record
  • If you want to save a record for later, click the Save button. This button will save the record to a temporary list called Saved Items/My Items.

    • Select Create List to create a new personal list and move the record to that list, or select Move if you have a pre-existing list you would like to move the record to.
