Zotero [zoh-TAIR-oh] is a tool that helps you to collect, manage, and cite your references. Zotero automatically updates itself to work with new online sources and new bibliographic styles. Watch the videos below to learn basic features and how to get started.
Zotero was built and is supported by the Center for History and New Media at George Mason University.
zotero.org will open in a new window.
Installing the Zotero desktop version should automatically add the Zotero plugin to Microsoft Word. Once in a while it doesn't work. After downloading and installing, check your MS Word toolbar: is "zotero" there? If so, great! If not, first try quitting MS Word and rebooting your computer. If it still doesn't appear, check this Zotero documentation about how to correct the problem.
