More classes will be added soon! Note the info on EndNote classes in the box below this one.

This page is a work in progress...also, for the language folks I worked with on 10/13, if you speak French, be sure to check out Zotero Francophone !

So, what's Zotero?

Zotero is a free, open source alternative to reference manager systems such as EndNote and ProCite. Zotero allows you to easily save webpages and articles found in library subscription databases such as Worldwide Political Science Abstracts, JSTOR, and PubMed, as well as bibliographic details, PDFs or other files, comments/notes, and indexing terms. Saved PDFs are searchable. When you are ready to write, you can use Zotero to integrate your references into your work in many citation styles using MS Word or OpenOffice. References can be backed up and shared between computers and even with other people over the Web.

Update 02/14/2012 - Zotero 3.0 is out of beta development now. This allows you to use Zotero as a standalone program that works with the Safari and Chrome browsers.

Update 1/28/2012 - Sometime in the future Zotero users will be able to edit citation styles themselves (this will make fixing citations and working with variant styles much easier). The process is being developed by Columbia University and Zotero frenemy Mendelay - find out more here.

Update 11/09/2011 - I'll shortly start offering an advanced Zotero class that will focus on using Zotero with MS Word and some tips and tricks. Contact me for more info (see right-hand contact box).
