Zotero, pronounced "zoh-TAIR-oh," is a free citation management tool designed to be used on your personal computer.
Zotero helps you save sources and organize bibliographic references for books, articles, web pages, and other sources. When you write a paper based on the references you collected, Zotero generates citations and bibliographies for you to insert into your document as you write the paper. It also has a plug-in for most word processors, which is automatically integrated in so you can insert references you have collected as you write.
Zotero can now be used in all browsers, not just Mozilla Firefox. Open the browser of your choice and go to www.zotero.org.
Go to the Zotero Download page to begin.
You must download both Zotero 5.0 for your operating system and the Zotero Connector.
If you would like to access Zotero from multiple computers, including those available in the James A. Cannavino Library, register for a Zotero.org account and sync your data to Zotero's servers.
Mendeley is a means to organize, store, and cite your research and can be installed on your personal computer. It can also be integrated into most word processors like Microsoft Word and Word for Mac so that you can incorporate your research as you write.
It was originally created for use in the sciences so most science citation styles are available automatically.
In addition, it will also alert you to new forthcoming research.
