Zotero Setup and Use

Zotero is an open-source research tool. It can be used to store research information automatically during your research process. Researchers use Zotero for:

• Automatically recording bibliographic information when doing research
• Creating citations while writing essays, outlines, or other materials
• Easily storing and organizing research items in PDF document format
• Generating high-quality reference lists or works cited lists 

Our video guides are designed to help you get Zotero up and running on the devices used most frequently by SMSU students and faculty.

For further support, reach out to library faculty at askref@smsu.edu or use the Zotero support website.
