Zotero: Citation management software

Install Zotero

Install Zotero

  1. Go to http://zotero.org
  2. Click the Download Now button
  3. Zotero should recognize your computer and the browser you are using.  You will need to download the Zotero program and the appropriate connector for your browser.  The connector works with your browser and Word:
  • The browser connector will allow you to 'grab' citations as you are searching for information.
  • The Word plug-in will allow you to cite as you write in a Word document.
  1. Mac users, restart your computer after the set-up is complete. (Restarting is not necessary for PC users.)

 

Word 365 and the Connector

If you are using Word 365, the Zotero toolbar may not be added to Word when you install the Zotero connector.

The following directions, found on the Zotero Forums, explain how to add the toolbar when using Word 365: https://forums.zotero.org/discussion/73354/how-to-use-zotero-plug-with-word-365
