Citing Your Sources

The Zotero citation manager (pronounced zoh-TAIR-oh) is a free and open source add-on for your internet browser (compatible with Firefox, Chrome, and Safari). Zotero works with PC, Mac, and Linux operating systems. It allows you to collect and organize sources, generate citations and bibliographies, and share references with groups all through your web browser.

Zotero also offers ZoteroBib. This online tool allows you to simply generate a bibliography from a list of sources without creating a Zotero account or installing software.

Use the resources linked below to get started with Zotero, or to find help with using this citation manager.
