Zotero

Collections are used to sort your sources into categories. This way you can keep sources for different assignments or projects separate from each other. It's just like creating different document folders on your Google Drive.

1. Open Zotero in your browser
2. Look at the box on the far left of Zotero
3. "My Library" refers to all your sources. Click here to see a comprehensive list of all your saved sources.
4. Click "New Collection" icon (far left folder icon with a plus sign) to make a new folder of sources
5. Enter a name for the collection and click "OK"
6. Go back to "My Library." Click and drag the sources you want into your new collection folder.

OR

Open the collection you want to have sources saved to, then find and save your sources using the Zotero connector on your preferred browser. By default, Zotero will save sources to the collection you currently have open.

Editing Information in Item Records

1. Open your Zotero library
2. Click on the record you wish to edit
3. The item record will display on the right side of your screen. You can edit the information in the record by simply clicking on the field you wish to edit.

You can also make notes about your sources (click the orange "Notes" icon), create tags for keyword searches (click the red "Tags" icon), or add related sources to bundle like information together (click the brown "Related" icon).
