Have you heard of Zotero? Zotero is a powerful citation and research management tool that can save you time and help safe-guard your research. This program allows you to import citations and save PDFs of most resources to your personal Zotero Library. Your Zotero Library helps you organize research, link back to articles and webpages, and provides the information needed to create a bibliography and in-text citations. Zotero is compatible with Microsoft Word and LibreOffice, and using either of these programs, it will instantly generate citations formatted in thousands of styles.

With the Zotero sync tool, you can access your research from any computer with an internet connection, and it is compatible with most major internet browsers. Perhaps best of all, Zotero is free to use. While this tool usually takes experienced researchers several days to learn, we highly recommend taking the time to master this resource if you are completing graduate-level research. If you are interested in using Zotero, please visit the UI&U help page for step-by-step instructions on creating a Zotero account. Your UI&U Librarians are also available for one-on-one training and assistance.
