Automatically Creating Citations and Bibliographies with Zotero
Citation management applications like EndNote and RefWorks have become a standard tool for organizing references. While this sort of software is incredibly useful for dissertation writing, Zotero is a better tool for research that involves non-traditional sources such as web pages. It is a free Firefox extension that allows you to save citation information while browsing the Web. With a single click, Zotero saves citation information and allows you to add notes, tag citations, or add attachments such as PDFs. Like EndNote or RefWorks, it will create a customized bibliography in standard citation styles. This hands-on workshop will introduce some of the key functions of Zotero such as: installing the Zotero extension in your Firefox browser, adding citations to your Zotero library, organizing and managing your citations, creating a bibliography, and using the Word plug-in to easily insert citations from Zotero.
