Zotero
Zotero (pronounced "zoh-TAIR-oh") is an application that collects, manages, and cites research sources. It's easy to use, connects with your web browser to download sources, and best of all it's free. Zotero allows you to attach PDFs, notes and images to your citations, organize them into collections for different projects, and create bibliographies.
Make sure to back up your work to your Zotero account or flash drive -- if not, any work you do will be erased when you log out.
This handout covers all the basics in the library's Zotero workshops.
