#USING ZOTERO INSTALL#
To get started with Zotero for Firefox, first click the red download button on the Zotero website to download and install the plugin. You may not be able to install the Zotero extension if you do not have the most current version of Firefox. Please go to the OpenAthens Connect guide where detailed, accurate information about authentication and linking to resources is available.įirst, be sure that your version of Firefox is the most current version. You will use OpenAthens to login to online library resources, including databases, ebooks, articles and journals. ** Please note that the library has switched to a new login system called OpenAthens. The stand-alone version is almost identical to the Firefox extension, but lacks some of the advanced features. A stand-alone version of Zotero also exists for those who do not use Firefox as their preferred browser. Zotero runs in its own pane within Firefox, separately from web pages and "scrapes" information to populate the your citation database. Developed by the Roy Rosenzweig Center for History and New Media at George Mason University in 2006, Zotero was developed as an extension for the Firefox web-browser to "live" that right where you do your work-in the web browser itself. Zotero is a free, open source, easy-to-use tool to help you collect, organize, cite, and share your research sources.
