Use a Citation Manager to Keep your Research Organized

Effectively organizing your research promotes clearer thinking and writing, which saves time! One tool that promotes this clarity is a citation manager (CM), which is software that stores, arranges, and creates auto-generated citations of your sources. Zotero is a free CM, this version has a 300 MB capacity, that you can download onto your computer, work on multiple research projects simultaneously, upload images or PDF files, and export citations into Microsoft Word or Google Docs. It's easy to use and will help you manage research-based assignments and organize your course readings for easy reference.

Below are links and videos on downloading, troubleshooting, and using Zotero. Feel free to reach out a librarian for any assistance!
