Managing Citations with Zotero Online

Please note: This event will use Microsoft Teams

Tired of manually formatting references or losing track of your sources? In this session, you’ll learn how to use Zotero, a free, powerful tool for organizing research and creating citations with ease. We’ll cover how to install Zotero, collect references from websites, databases, and PDFs, organize your library with folders, and generate in-text citations and bibliographies in multiple styles. Whether you’re writing a paper, thesis, or report, Zotero can save you time and reduce errors—so you can focus on your research instead of your references.

Learning Objectives:

By the end of this session, you will be able to:

Install and set up Zotero and its browser connector

Import and organize references

Create citations and bibliographies in various citation styles

Sync your library across devices and share collections with others
