Library research
tools have moved not only onto the web,
but into the browser software itself.
 Zotero
(http://www.zotero.org) is a free
Firefox add-on that allows students and researchers to save citations
and create bibliographies.
It is as easy to learn and use as iTunes and more powerful than
commercial competitors like EndNote and RefWorks. New features such as
online storage and shared libraries help researchers collaborate online.
Open source browser plug-ins like Zotero can help library users at every
stage of the research cycle, from search and discovery to writing and
citation. By using free, open source tools, libraries can offer
assistance and resources with little cost and foster skills that patrons
can use throughout life.
Participants will learn to:
-
identify some of the advantages
of using open-source software tools in library research
-
install the Zotero plugin for
Firefox
-
save citations and build a
personal citation library
-
synchronize your Zotero library
and access it from any computer running Firefox
-
automatically generate
bibliographies
-
share references and
collaborate using Zotero's new groups feature
Intended Audience
Library staff who assist
researchers, students and anyone else needing to save citations and
create bibliographies.
