Zotero is a free and open-source reference management tool that allows researchers to maintain a database of the books, articles, and other media used in a project. This workshop will cover all the basics of downloading, setting up, and using Zotero. You don't need to prep anything before the workshop, we'll start by setting up accounts and downloading all the required apps and plugins. If you've looked at using Zotero before but found it a bit overwhelming, this workshop will help break down each step in the step-up and give you time to start adding your PDFs, bookmarks, and more to your Library. Zotero is available to everyone.

No prior knowledge is needed.

Our policy is that we do not record live workshops in order to encourage robust Q&A. However, you can always find the full workshop materials for all of our workshops at: https://library.virginia.edu/data/training/past-workshops which allows you to work through the material at your own pace. We also encourage you to reach out to the instructor at any time for a one-on-one consult, and for specific or general questions about any of the topics we cover.
