Zotero: Introduction to a Reference Management Program (Live Online) BeginnersPrerequisitesUpdated
This course is an introduction to reference management using the free, open-source program, Zotero. Zotero is a free, open-source program which allows you to collect and store references from online sources; add your own annotations and finally use your stored references to insert correct citations into a Word, Libre/Open Office, or LaTeX document.
Zotero is essentially a helper; it will enable you to collect references as you review online databases in a web browser and then interact with Word, Libre/Open Office or LaTeX to cite your references as you write your document.

- Further details regarding eligibility criteria are available
Familiarity with the use of a web browser and either Word, Open Office or LaTeX
