Zotero is a free, easy-to-use software for collecting, organizing, and citing research articles, books, and other resources. In this workshop, we will demonstrate how to get started with Zotero, including installation, adding items and organizing libraries, creating bibliographies, integrating it with Word and Google Docs to seamlessly create citations across styles (APA, MLA, Chicago, and hundreds more!). AND! how to sync your stuff online so you never lose it. Join us in-person in Norlin E206 (CRDDS) or on zoom.
