Tips and tricks

Things to remember when using Zotero:

  • It's free...which is great! This means your Zotero library can follow you throughout your college career and beyond. 
  • It's free....which can be not so great. Zotero can make mistakes and metadata for items can be incorrect. Remember to always check and double-check your citations with an authoritative and up-to-date citation guidebook.
  • If you can't find an option, right-click! Zotero often makes use of contextual menus that provide many options that can't be found unless you right-click. 
  • If something isn't working right, Zotero forums are a great place to get your questions answered. This is an open source project and tons of people devote their time to fixing Zotero bugs!
