Zotero is a citation management tool designed to help you organize your citations and create a Bibliography/References list or Works Cited list.
In Zotero you can:
- Add items from a Library database result list, a web browser search, or a Google Scholar search.
- Manually add items.
- Create Collections with titles that are meaningful to you (a research paper title, a course name, a course number or whatever you choose).
- Give your items "tags" or subject terms so that you can search for them by tag at a later date.
- Create a bibliography or a references list or a works cited list in the citation style required by your instructor.
- Add in-text citations to your paper.
