Useful Product - ZOTERO

Hello faculty,
In an effort to help Life students become more adept at handling information ethically, the library continues to look for helpful resources, which will facilitate what students are already learning in their courses. The library has identified Zotero as a great resource to help students (and useful for faculty as well) grow in their ability to cite sources, create bibliographies and organize their research.  


There are many bibliographic tools available, but Zotero is one of the better free resources on the market. Zotero allows one to download bibliographic information from the web (or manually enter print resources), organize the information into folders, attach multiple notes to the bibliographic record, attach electronic documents to each record, apply tags for easy retrieval, link similar records, and share one's information with others. Zotero is designed for Firefox, but works well with Chrome and Safari browsers (note that Internet Explorer is not included).
