Zotero—a vital tool for documenting and citing research in numerous fields worldwide—has become even more valuable with Release 7. Major changes to system architecture prepare Zotero for rapidly changing technology. And its capacity to mark up and annotate PDFs, EPUBs, and HTML snapshots makes this product second to none for managers of knowledge. A major user interface redesign improves the Zotero experience and enables plug-in developers to integrate bonus features seamlessly into the product.
This Quick Guide is designed to serve first-time users but also contains much to help self-taught users and anyone upgrading to Zotero 7. It covers installation, setup, and the fundamentals that can get anyone using Zotero rapidly. It also guides you in the best uses of Zotero for your purposes and alerts you to how setup and usage decisions affect your long-term outcomes.
While this guide was created to teach the foundations of Zotero to historians, genealogists, and genohistorians, the topics covered here suit a universal audience of researchers. This is the first step for anyone seeking to maximize their effectiveness at gathering, analyzing, storing, and citing knowledge assets using Zotero. Supplemental guides will soon be available to address the more complex uses of Zotero and its plugins.
This EPUB format can be used in most modern e-book readers. It can be stored, read, and annotated in Zotero 7. It includes the sample data used in the book’s exercises. Or, if you’re a Kindle person, get the Kindle edition on Amazon. It includes directions for getting the sample data.
Donna Cox Baker has authored three books on Zotero and edited and written books and articles on history and genealogy. Her website, Genohistory.com, includes free content related to these fields and the hybrid concept of genohistory.
