Save your references – enroll to Zotero training
Zotero is a reference management software with which you can save your references to one place and easily generate bibliographies. The library organizes training on how to use it effectively in November.
Did you copy & paste a reference to a document you can’t find anymore? Do you need to use a different citation style you originally used? If so, start using the reference management software Zotero, and save all your references in one place, create a bibliography with a few clicks, or share references with your collaborators.
Getting started
Zotero is free and open source but the free version comes with a limited storage for reference attachments. Use your Uniarts email address when you sign up to Zotero. Uniarts will acquire institutional storage in 2022, after which Uniarts users will have unlimited personal storage in their Zotero account. Install Zotero to your computer and Zotero Connector to your browser, and you can start saving references to your account. Read more about Zotero from the library guide.
