How to Keep Zotero When You Graduate

You can keep your Zotero account and Zotero library after you graduate. However, if you originally signed up for Zotero using your St. Olaf email address, you should follow these steps to add a personal email address to your account:

  1. Log in to your Zotero account
  2. Click on your Zotero username in the upper right corner, then click "Settings"
  3. On the Settings page, click the tab labeled "Account"
  4. Scroll down to the section of the page labeled "Manage Email Addresses" and add a personal email address
  5. Click "Set Primary" to make your personal email address the primary email address associated with your Zotero account
  6. Delete your St. Olaf email address from the list of email addresses associated with your Zotero account

This process will ensure that if you forget your password or otherwise get locked out of your Zotero account after graduating, you will have an active email address associated with your account so that you can reset your password.
