Lost & Found Archival Editions:
"What we are a part of": Teaching at CUNY: 1968-1974: In this collective effort, a team of Lost & Found editors explore Adrienne Rich’s teaching materials from her formative years during the turbulent and exhilarating student strike for Open Admissions in the late 1960s at the City University of New York. Drawing on memos, notes, course syllabi, and class exercises, this collection provides insight into Rich’s dedication, passion, and empathy as a teacher completely dedicated to her students as they take a leading role in reshaping access to public higher education. Rich’s characteristic public generosity and courage can be seen, for the first time, in an institutional setting through these materials. Accompanied by essays that contextualize both the pedagogy and the politics, this collection truly breaks new ground in presenting lesser-known aspects of a major poet’s work.


t contextualize both the pedagogy and the politics, this collection truly breaks new ground in presenting lesser-known aspects of a major poet’s work."Realizing the Dream of a Black University," & Other Writings: While Toni Cade Bambara is mostly known for her short stories, novels, and landmark 1970 anthology The Black Woman, “Realizing the Dream of a Black University,” & Other Writings explores lesser-known aspects of her work and revives her far-reaching pedagogical legacy. Through memoirs and texts drawn from City College of New York’s radical 1960s educational experiments, we learn how Bambara dedicated her life to embedding and expanding Black and Third World studies in academic institutions, community settings, and the larger collective consciousness while imbuing these efforts with her own unique form of infectious activism and unflinching clarity.


About the Libraries:
CUNY’s library system is a federation of 31 libraries and the CUNY Central Office of Library Services (OLS) , supporting the University’s 25 campuses and 100+ research centers and institutes. Since 1939, the Library Association of the City University of New York (LACUNY) has served as the professional organization for CUNY librarians across the campuses.

LACUNY (Library Association of the City University of New York):LACUNY (Library Association of the City University of New York):From the historical note to the LACUNY finding aid [PDF] for the archival collection held at City College: The Library Association of the City Colleges of New York (LACCNY) was established by representatives form four colleges of the City Colleges of New York on March 17, 1939—Brooklyn College, City College, Hunter College, and Queens College. In the organization's earliest years it was primarily concerned with preventing the CUNY librarians from being incorporated into the Civil Service titles and to correct the salary inequalities suffered by librarians, particularly those in the rank of Library Assistant. In 1961, with the creation of The City University of New York, librarians from both senior and community college units have been members of LACUNY.

In 1961, with the creation of The City University of New York, librarians from both senior and community college units have been members of LACUNY.Effective November 1, 1965, the old library titles and ranks of librarians, associate librarians, assistant librarian, and assistant to librarian were abolished in the bylaws of the Board of Higher Education and librarians were transferred to faculty titles and salary ranks. From its inception, the Association was interested in advancing the professional concerns and growth of the membership, in addition to the continuing struggle which it had to wage over bread-and-butter issues. In 1956, LACUNY sponsored its first "Institute" on the topic of the Subject Division of College Library. Institutes have been held almost annually since 1968 and have come to attract a large audience from libraries in the metropolitan area. Seminars and workshops on topics of concern to LACUNY members are also held several times throughout the year.

The goal of data science is to improve decision making through the analysis of data. Today data science determines the ads we see online, the books and movies that are recommended to us online, which emails are filtered into our spam folders, and even how much we pay for health insurance. This volume in the MIT Press Essential Knowledge series offers a concise introduction to the emerging field of data science, explaining its evolution, current uses, data infrastructure issues, and ethical challenges.  It has never been easier for organizations to gather, store, and process data. Use of data science is driven by the rise of big data and social media, the development of high-performance computing, and the emergence of such powerful methods for data analysis and modeling as deep learning.

Citation Managers:
When doing research at the graduate level, it is important to be diligent about keeping track of your sources. This can be done with pen and paper in a dedicated notebook or on index cards. Or, you might just keep an Excel spreadsheet of all of the materials you are consulting for a project. Citation managers like Zotero , RefWorks, and Mendeley help automate the process by working with your web browser to grab the information about a source (author, title, publication, etc.) with the click of a button. They can even be integrated into word processing software to automatically generate properly formatted citations and bibliographies.

Zotero: Saves and helps you to organize citations to articles, books, webpages, and more. Works with Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome, and Safari. Install the Zotero Word plug-in to quickly create bibliographies and add citations to papers.

Zotero is a research tool that was created for academics, by academics. It was created by the Roy Rosenzweig Center for History and New Media at George Mason University, and is currently maintained by Digital Scholar , a non-profit organization that creates academic software. Zotero is best used in Chrome or Firefox. It is a suite of tools: the desktop application, which you’ll install on your computer a browser “connector” which captures the citation from the browser and saves it to the desktop application a word-processor add-in cloud storage for syncing/backing up The citations you save in Zotero your library , but it is actually a database. Creating an online user account allows you to sync your library across multiple devices. Zotero stores your information centrally to the cloud (the Zotero server), so when you add or edit items in your library, in the desktop application, the changes will be synced to the Zotero server, so that your library is updated on all of your devices.

The website allows you to access your library without installing the application, so, for example, if you are working in the library and just want to look up a reference that you saved earlier. The online library doesn’t have all of the features we’ll be discussing in this tutorial.


Installation:
Create an account . Download Zotero 7 for Windows or Mac and open up the download package to install it. You must also install the Zotero Connector for Chrome, Firefox or Safari (see step # 3 under installation). This is connects the information from the web browser to your desktop application.  Note: you can install the connector for all your browsers. Before using Zotero for the first time, we need to set up our preferences and connect the standalone application to the browser connector.

Go to Configure


Setting your preferences in the desktop app:


Setting your preferences in the desktop app:Setting your preferences in the desktop app:Open the Zotero application and navigate to the Preferences menu. On a PC, go to Edit > Preferences. On a Mac, go to Zotero > Preferences. On the Sync tab, enter the username and password you used when you created your Zotero.org account and click the < Set Up Syncing > button. Syncing your library is helpful if you work on more than one device. Let's look at a few examples: Example #1: You can install Zotero on your two computers, the one at home and the one at work, and setup synching in the application's settings on both computers, so no matter where you're collecting sources (by clicking the icon in the browser), your sources are being synced to the other computer because you are saving to the  zotero.org server which updates your Zotero library/database on each computer. Example #2: You're doing research on a library computer, and you've added the Zotero connector to the browser and set it to save citations without using the desktop app.

Since you're not using the desktop app, all of the items you save are actually saving to the Zotero.org server. (you will need to be logged into your Zotero.org account and authorize the browser connector to access your Zotero.org account (see below)). Later, at home, you open up the Zotero application on your personal computer. How will all of the citations you added at the library get to your computer? By syncing your library. In the Zotero preferences, the default is to automatically sync your local library with the information on the zotero.org servers. This way, when you get home and open up the Zotero app it will automatically download the new items that you saved on the other computer at the library. (You'll know this is happening because the sync icon will be spinning.) On the General tab, decide if you intend to save PDFs to your desktop application.

On the General tab, decide if you intend to save PDFs to your desktop application.Annotating PDFs is an advantage of downloading the PDF, as well as insuring that you have a permanent copy.You have as much storage to store as you have hard-drive space, but you might go over the Zotero.org 300MB storage limit if you are syncing to Zotero.org.  If you decide not to save PDFs make sure that Automatically attach associated PDFs and other files when saving items option is unchecked. If you decide not to save you can still easily access, but not annotate using the Locate option in step #4 below. If you decide sync only the citations and not sync PDFs and other full-text attachments to your Zotero.org online (cloud) account, go to the Sync tab and uncheck the < Sync full-text content > checkbox: Scroll down to Location and enter: https://cuny-gc.primo.exlibrisgroup.com/openurl/01CUNY_GC/01CUNY_GC:CUNY_GC? This setting will allow you to search and possibly access items that the library holds via the GC library's OpenURL.

If it is not, make sure to quit out of  Microsoft Word before clicking on the < Reinstall Microsoft Word Add-in > Now we're ready to get the Zotero browser connector set up.


Customizing the Zotero connector in your browser:


Customizing the Zotero connector in your browser:Customizing the Zotero connector in your browser:After installing the Zotero browser connector in your web browser, you'll need to connect it with your Zotero desktop application. This will allow the information you save while browsing to automatically appear in the Zotero app (the Zotero desktop application must be open) on your computer. You can also choose to allow the browser to save items to Zotero.org if you need to work without access to the full Zotero application. Right-click (in Safari, click-and-hold) on the Zotero icon in your browser toolbar and select Preferences/Options. Note: this dropdown label is referred to differently depending on what browser you use. On the General tab, look for Zotero status. If the desktop app is open, it should say connected.

This will open a new browser tab asking you to allow access. Click on the < Accept Defaults > button. Note: If you are not already logged in, you will need to enter your Zotero username and password . If you want to access the original GC Library electronic resource from within the Zotero application you will need to add the GC's proxy prefix to the Browser Connector. From the Zotero Browser Connector preferences/options window click on the Proxies tab. Note: this window might appear different in different web browsers.

Adding citations:
There are many ways to collect citations with Zotero. We’ll go over some of the more common methods just to get started and to demonstrate what kind of information is being saved. Before capturing we need to create a new collection in the Zotero desktop application. Your Zotero library is the sum total of all citations from all collections.  You can organize your library into many collections. These are folders that can be used for topics, research projects, courses, or individual papers. It's up to you! To create a collection: Click on the folder icon on the upper left corner of the desktop application. Enter a name for the collection in the pop-up screen. *More on Collections in Organizing your Library below. Now select the collection that you just created, this will allow the browser connector know what collection you want to save citation data in.


Adding Citations from Journal article in a database:


Adding Citations from Journal article in a database:Adding Citations from Journal article in a database:Capturing will be triggered by the browser connector in the browser toolbar. Note: if you do not see the Zotero extension, you might need to reinstall it or probably need to pin it so it appears on your browser toolbar. Pin it by clicking on the the icon that looks like a jigsaw puzzle piece and then pinning it. Once the browser connector is pinned it will appear as a Z . In your web browser, navigate to JSTOR from the library's A-Z list of databases . Now, do a search for a topic of your choice. On the results page, you'll see the Zotero browser icon change to a file folder The folder indicates that the webpage you're visiting contains multiple items. If you click on the folder, a pop-up box will allow you to easily select multiple items from this page. When you click < OK >, it will save all of these items to your Zotero library.

When you click < OK >, it will save all of these items to your Zotero library.After selecting the articles citations that you would like to collect, you will notice those specific articles being saved to the particular collection that you previously created. If you have configured Zotero to automatically save PDFs, when available, the PDFs will be saved as attachments to each item. Now, return to your search results page and click on a specific article title. Notice how the Zotero browser icon has changed again. This time, instead of a file folder, it shows the article icon. Click on the icon to save this item to your library (and, if applicable, the PDF). The article was saved to the collection that you previously created and selected in the desktop application. Now, go back to your Zotero library in the desktop application, you should see the item in your library.


Adding Citations from a Book through Google Scholar:
Now we're going to try saving a book found through Google Scholar. Navigate to https://scholar.google.com . In the search bar, type Debates in the Digital Humanities Notice the Zotero icon in the browser has now changed to a book. Click on the icon to save it, then return to your desktop app to view it in your library. Depending on the information embedded in the item, it may have saved the abstract and a link to Google Books along with the basic bibliographic information.


Adding Citations from a Web site:
Now let's try saving a website. Navigate to a favorite blog or other site, such as the https://nytimes.com and open a specific article. Notice the Zotero browser icon change [to a newspaper]. Click on the icon to save it, then return to your desktop app and view it in your library. What is different? You should see an attachment for the item, which is a web snapshot. Zotero saved a copy of the webpage along with the citation information.


Items can appear in multiple collections by simply dragging the same reference into multiple collections and the Libraries and Collections Multiple Collections tool keeps track of every collection a reference resides in: You can create sub-folders for each collection, by dragging a collection's folder icon into an existing collection. By default you can sort your library or collections by Title, Creator, Year or Publication  by clicking on, for example, Year which will sort your citations by year. You can also add additional bibliographic fields or Zotero based fields: Note: You might notice that the same reference from different databases and websites may cause the same reference to appear differently. This is because different websites might have different structures which activate different “translators”  in Zotero. To remove an item from your collection, right-click on the item or select the item and press the Delete key or select < Remove Item from Collection >.


To remove an item from your collection, right-click on the item or select the item and press the Delete key or select < Remove Item from Collection >.To remove an item from your collection, right-click on the item or select the item and press the Delete key or select < Remove Item from Collection >.To remove an item from your collection, right-click on the item or select the item and press the Delete key or select < Remove Item from Collection >.When you remove an item from a collection, it will not delete the item from your Zotero library. Or you might discover a duplicate, if you do you can merge both references by selecting both items and selecting < Merge >: Or you might want to completely delete an item from a collection and your entire library, if so select < Move Item to Trash >:


Adding a Source Manually:
If you have a source that is not available online, such as an archival item, you can add it manually, by clicking on the  “New Item” button at the top of the middle pane and selecting the desired item type. The item's bibliographic (metadata) information can be entered into right-hand pane.


Creating Parent Items for PDFs:
You can drag and drop a PDF from your desktop into the middle pane of Zotero and if the file is formatted correctly a parent item will be created and bibliographic information (metadata) will be automatically generated in the right pane.  Sometimes you might  need to control-click on Macs and select <Create Parent Item> from the drop down list. Add the metadata in the right pane after the empty parent item is created.


The Toolbar:
The toolbar on the right side of the desktop allows you to access many features such as the the Item Citation Editing, abstract, attachment, notes, Libraries and Collections, Tags panes as well as the Lookup tool.


Attachments:
Items in your library can have notes, files, and links attached to them. If an item has an attachment, there will be an arrow next to the item. Click on the arrow to show or hide attachments. The reader has create annotating tools (Highlight, Underline, ability to add notes and text and draw):


Notes:
Notes can be attached to items and are useful for adding annotations or other information about a source. You can also create a standalone note by clicking the New Note icon (looks like a sticky note with a plus). Inserting a Note A Completed Note


Tags:
Tags are another helpful way to organize your library. With tags you can apply different search terms, so you can easily discover the citations related to the specific tag. Many items online already have tags, you may or may not find these tags useful. If you do not, you can decide not to download these tags by setting Zotero->Preferences->General->Automatically Tag Items. Go to Cite


Searching for Items:
The Zotero.org site offers excellent documentation, including a comprehensive page on Zotero's search features , so I'll refer you there for details.


Other Cool Features:
There are many other tasks that you can perform within your library, but the following are some of the more popular features. A good way to review the bibliographic information with abstract and tags is using the <Generate Report> feature: The generated report: Finally, if you have a need to import into or use your bibliographic references in a different format or application you could select items and export: After selecting < Export Items > a dialog will appear prompting you to select your desired format: For example, a CSV file with your references: Go to Cite


If you have MS Word on your computer when you install the Zotero desktop application, a MS Word add-in will automatically be installed to connect your Zotero library to your word processor. On a PC and newer versions of Word for Mac, this add-in will create a new menu tab in Word. On some older versions of Word for Mac, the Zotero add-in will be a small toolbar with a black scroll icon. NOTE: If MS Word is open while you install the Zotero application, you will need to quit MS Word and then go to Settings=>Cite and click < Reinstall Microsoft Word Add-in >. There is also a LibreOffice add-in available. (Google docs integration is currently under development.) To verify whether a word processing add-in is installed: Open the Preferences menu in Zotero and select the Cite tab and scroll down to Word Processors section.  Verify that you quit out of your processor and then click on <Reinstall Microsoft Word Add-in> or <Install Libre Office Add-in).

When you are writing your paper, use the Zotero menu to insert citations instead of the default "Insert footnote" or "Insert Citation" options in MS Word. A screencast demonstrating how to "write and cite" with Zotero in MS Word is available on YouTube .


Creating a Bibliography:
There are a few ways to quickly generate a bibliography in the Zotero application : Drag items from the Zotero application into a text area. This can be a MS Word file, a Google Doc, or a text editor. The citation style used here is based on the Export settings in Preferences. Select multiple items in the Zotero application and right-click on them (control-click on a Mac). On the menu that appears, choose "Create Bibliography from Selected Items." Choose your citation style, and choose whether you want Notes or a Bibliography. Then, select "Copy to Clipboard," click OK, and go back to your writing area to paste the citations into your document. To create a bibliography using your online Zotero library : Select the items you wish to include and click on the Cite icon on the upper right. Choose your citation style in the pop-up menu that appears, then copy/paste the text into your writing area. Add / Reorder


Using Zotero with Google Docs:
To use Zotero with Google Docs you must have the Zotero browser connector installed. The Zotero connector adds a Zotero menu and toolbar icon to the Google Docs interface: The first time you use Zotero in a Google Doc, you will need to authenticate the plugin. Be sure to select the Google account you used to create or edit the document. To set the citation style for your document, click the Zotero menu and navigate to Preferences. Read the full documentation from Zotero for more tips and tricks. Go to Storage & Backup


Sharing and Collaborating:


Sharing and Collaborating:Sharing and Collaborating:Working on a co-authored article, group project or just want to share your references with a colleague or your class? Groups can be a great way to work on a shared research project with colleagues. Groups can be private or public; a public group library can be a useful way to identify relevant research on a topic. To setup a group: Go to File → New Library → “ New Group ” in the Zotero desktop application: You will be redirected to the Zotero.org Create a New Group page: Name the group Decide on the Group Type. Is this open to the public , closed to the public but users can see the group and request an invitation or a completely private so only you can see the group and future group members need to be invited to join? After naming the page and deciding on the group type, click < Create Group > and you will be directed to the Group Settings page: The Group Settings page is where you decide what type of group you want to create and. the permissions that you want to apply to the group.

The invited people will receive an email with a link, once they click on the link they will be prompted to login to Zotero to either join or ignore the group invitation. Every group has either a public or private web page for collaboration. Read more about Zotero groups on the support page .


How much space do I get?:
Your Zotero account comes with 300 MB of free storage. This storage is used for PDFs, images, and any other Zotero files on all of your devices. Premium plans for additional storage are available. It is also possible to use your existing cloud storage (Google Drive, Dropbox, etc.) to store these attachments. See our Advanced Zotero page for instructions.


Backing up your library:
Syncing your library is not the same as saving a backup. Your Zotero information is stored on your computer, so if you perform regular backups you should be able to access a version of your library if necessary. It is also possible to locate your Zotero information and save it to an external device. Instructions are available on the Zotero support page. Go to Advanced


Cloud Syncing Solutions:
There are several ways to sync your Zotero Library to cloud based solutions. By default Zotero offers 300 MBs of Web Storage and users can purchase more , but users can also sync their PDFs using WebDAV or ZotFile . The following provides a rough overview of both advanced solutions. See the Zotero Data Syncing guide for more information.


Syncing to the Cloud Using WebDAV:
Using WebDAV is an easy way to sync your Zotero Library to a cloud based solution.   Zotero is compatible with many WebDav providers . If you want to sync to a cloud based solution: Setup Data Syncing Use the Settings => Sync => File Syncing => Sync attachment files in MY Library using and select [WebDav]


Storing Attachments in the Cloud with ZotFile:
The following is a comprehensive, step-by-step guide to transforming your Zotero installation into one that keeps its PDF and image attachments in your cloud storage, and creates links from your Zotero application and web library that don’t eat up your 300MB Zotero storage limit. The process has been tested on a Windows 10 PC with Google Drive, Dropbox, and OneDrive.


Prepare to Link Your Cloud Storage:


Prepare to Link Your Cloud Storage:Prepare to Link Your Cloud Storage:Before you begin, you’ve installed Zotero 7 on your computer and a Zotero connector within your browser. Your cloud storage is installed as an application on your computer (not just accessible on the web)—this means that your cloud storage is visible in your computer’s directory as an external hard drive. Back up your Zotero installation. Don’t skip this step! You may not need to use this backup, but if you need it and don’t have it, you will be very sad. Go to the location of your Data Directory (by default the data storage location on Mac OS is /Users/<username>/Zotero; on Windows 10 it’s C:\Users\<User Name>\Zotero) and copy the entire Zotero folder, preferably on another drive or in the cloud. Name that copied folder something like “Zotero Backup” so that you don’t confuse it with the storage folder you’re about to create. (Note that creating a backup is a step beyond syncing your data, which won’t protect the installation.) Sign into cloud storage on your computer.

(Note that creating a backup is a step beyond syncing your data, which won’t protect the installation.) Sign into cloud storage on your computer.Create a new folder for your attachments (these instructions will call it “Zotero”) in that storage directory. Do not yet sign into Zotero through the app, or if you’ve already been using Zotero, sign out. (This prevents Zotero from synching for the moment, which will just be confusing.)


Download and Install ZotFile:
Download and install this plugin from http://zotfile.com/index.html by clicking on Download on the left side of the page (don’t try to open the file itself on your computer); then start Zotero 5 and go to “Tools→Add-ons.” This opens the Add-ons Manager page. In the settings menu (the small, drop-down wheel in the top right corner), click on “Install Add-on from File” and select the downloaded .xpi file. You’ll get an ominous warning about only downloading from trusted sources; you can trust this one. You’ll also have to restart Zotero.


Set your Linked Attachment Base Directory to the folder where you want your PDFs stored -- for instance, G:\My Drive\Zotero in the case of Google Drive on a PC.  You’ll do this using Zotero’s preferences (Edit→Preferences→Advanced→Files and Folders). Now you’ll have a clear path to the attachments from whatever computer you’re working on – as long as you set the base directory to the storage folder on every computer you use. Leave your data directory where it is . It’s tempting to think, Hey, I can put the whole Zotero installation into my cloud storage! That solves everything! Unfortunately, Zotero is not constructed to handle that, and sooner or later the database that contains all your collected citations will become an ugly, unreadable mess. You’ll also need to set that Base Directory location in the ZotFile preferences , so that ZotFile will send your attachments to the right place.

You’ll also need to set that Base Directory location in the ZotFile preferences , so that ZotFile will send your attachments to the right place.mess. You’ll also need to set that Base Directory location in the ZotFile preferences , so that ZotFile will send your attachments to the right place.In Zotero, choose Tools→ZotFile Preferences, and set Location of Files to the same location you set the Linked Attachment Base Directory. To link new or updated files to your existing citations,  set the Source folder to your Downloads folder (or wherever you have your browser set to download files). This tells ZotFile where to look when you right-click on a citation and choose "Add attachment from source folder." ZotFile will automatically attach the most recently modified file. Sign into your Zotero account in the desktop app. Now test your installation: Add a PDF to your library from a library database. (Click the Zotero connector in your web browser while looking at the PDF.) ZotFile renames the file using metadata from the selected item (the default convention is Author_Year_Title, though you can change that). A pop-up window will show that ZotFile is renaming the PDF, and it will now appear in, and can be opened from, your Linked Attachment Base Directory.


A pop-up window will show that ZotFile is renaming the PDF, and it will now appear in, and can be opened from, your Linked Attachment Base Directory.Now you’re set to go on from here, and if you’re just starting out with Zotero, you’re done. But what about those of us—most of us—who have been using Zotero for a while, and whose links are now broken? You’ll need to move and rename your PDF files with ZotFile, and you may have to reset your paths within Zotero using Zutilo.


Move Attachments with ZotFile:
Select the citations in Zotero that you want to migrate. Then right-click and choose Tools→Manage Attachments→Rename and Move.

That’s it! This puts the stored PDFs in the new, correct directory. However, though ZotFile has moved the files, Zotero may still think they’re in the old directory. Try to open one. If it opens without problem, you’re set. If you get a message that says that the PDF is missing and displays the old file path, you’ll need to update the links. You can change the links one by one as the need arises (right-click on the item; choose Show file in the drop-down menu that appears; in the dialog box that pops up to tell you that Zotero can’t find it, click Locate and navigate to your new location). A better solution – and one that will come in handy if you ever get a new computer or new hard drive – is to use Zutilo to reassign all your file locations at once.


Optional: Re-link Files with Zutilo:
If you have citations with attachments in your Zotero library already, you may need to download the plugin Zutilo as well. This plugin is found at https://github.com/wshanks/Zutilo/releases (documentation for the plugin is here). Right-click on the link and choose “Save Link as…” Again, don’t open the downloaded file; use the same procedure as in step 4 except, of course, with the zutilo.xpi file. Zutilo does not require a Zotero restart.


t open the downloaded file; use the same procedure as in step 4 except, of course, with the zutilo.xpi file. Zutilo does not require a Zotero restart.Choose Tools→Zutilo Preferences, which will open a window of Zutilo operations. Activate (click radio button in central column) Modify attachments and Show attachments. Back in Zotero, select your citations and right-click. Choose Zutilo→Modify Attachments. In the pop-up dialog box, enter the path of the old storage area (probably C:\Users\<User Name>\Zotero on a PC, or /Users/<username>/Zotero on a Mac), then, in the second pop-up dialog box, enter the path of the new storage area (i.e., G:\My Drive\Zotero). Links magically fixed!


Finding, installing and creating styles:
If the style that you need to use is not available in the Style Manager: You can click Get additional styles : More info on creating new styles : Citation Style Language's (CSL) guide for authors.


Cite Anything:
What if you just need a quick list of formatted citations, like a Works Cited list for that conference proposal you drafted in Google docs? That’s where ZoteroBib comes to the rescue. Find the item online (the article in JSTOR, the newspaper article, whatever), copy the URL and paste it into ZoteroBib’s search bar. It also takes DOIs, ISBNs, PubMed IDs, and other identifiers. The service will return a formatted citation according to the style guide of your choice, and will allow you to build (and save, and share) a fully formatted bibliography. No account necessary, and no marketing or ads to clutter up your research space. Want to know more about how it works? Check out their quick demo .

View the full documentation from the makers of Zotero. Zotero Video Tutorials (made by others) .


What is a citation manager and why should I care?:
When performing research at the graduate level, it is important to be diligent about keeping track of your sources. This can be done with pen and paper in a dedicated notebook or on index cards. Or, you might just keep an Excel spreadsheet of all of the materials you are consulting for a project. Citation managers like Zotero , RefWorks, and Mendeley help automate the process by working with your web browser to grab the information about a source (author, title, publication, etc.) with the click of a button. They can even be integrated into word processing software to automatically generate properly formatted citations and bibliographies.


Zotero is a research tool that was created for academics, by academics. It was created by the Roy Rosenzweig Center for History and New Media at George Mason University, and is currently maintained by Digital Scholar , a non-profit organization that creates academic software. Zotero is best used in Chrome or Firefox. It is a suite of tools: the desktop application, which you’ll install on your computer a browser “connector” which captures the citation from the browser and saves it to the desktop application a word-processor add-in cloud storage for syncing/backing up The citations you save in Zotero your library , but it is actually a database. Creating an online user account allows you to sync your library across multiple devices. Zotero stores your information centrally to the cloud (the Zotero server), so when you add or edit items in your library, in the desktop application, the changes will be synced to the Zotero server, so that your library is updated on all of your devices.

The online library doesn’t have all of the features we’ll be discussing in this tutorial.


Installation:
Create an account on zotero.org/user/register . Download Zotero 7 for Windows or Mac on zotero.org/download and open up the download package to install it. You must also install the Zotero connector for Chrome, Firefox or Safari (see step # 3 under installation)  also on zotero.org/download . This is connects the information from the web browser to your desktop application.  Note: you can install the connector for all your browsers. Before using Zotero for the first time, we need to set up our preferences and connect the standalone application to the browser connector.
