This workshop was suggested by an instructor whose student transferred to Berkeley and said she wished she'd know how to use  Zotero citation manager. So here's your chance!

Zotero is a tool that collects, manages, and cites the sources you find during your research. In addition to saving a citation, you can add notes and images in your Zotero library and in many cases automatically download PDFs.

You can use Zotero to...

• Create and organize a personal database of references.
• Import references automatically from many websites and library E-resources.
• Format bibliographies in your papers.

Why use Zotero over another tool, like RefWorks or Endnote?

• Your Zotero library is saved locally and though it is possible for you to create a cloud space and sync your citations, it requires you to adjust your settings on every computer you use Zotero with. If you do your research and writing mostly on one computer, Zotero is a great option.
• Zotero can be used offline. An internet connection is not necessary to work with your Zotero library.
