About the workshop 

Want to make your research and writing more efficient? Hate the last minute rush of trying to create a correctly formatted bibliography? This introductory workshop is for you! We will introduce Zotero, a citation management tool that can help you import, organize, share, and manage your citations and documents, as well as create correctly formatted in-text citations and bibliographies in almost any style—in seconds.

This interactive workshop will cover everything that you need to know to get started with Zotero.

  Requirements

Bring a fully charged laptop (power outlets are limited). In advance of the workshop, please: register for a Zotero account and download and install Zotero 7 and the Zotero Connector. If you encounter any difficulties doing this, please send an email to citation-managers@sfu.ca so we can help you. Please note that the Zotero Connector works best with Firefox and Chrome. If you choose to use the Zotero Connector with Safari, please be aware that there are a few known compatibility issues at this time which may prove frustrating. Read more about Safari's compatibility with Zotero.
