Using Zotero

To use Zotero, download and install:

1. The Zotero application itself
2. The web browser connector to save citations to Zotero

Both of these are available from the Zotero download page.

Download and install Zotero from the Zotero website.

There's a different version for each operating system - Windows, MacOS or Linux.

Connectors allow your web browser to save citations to your Zotero library.

After downloading the connector, if the Zotero icon is not visible on the web browser menu, click on the Extensions icon, then on the Pin next to Zotero Connector to keep the connector visible on your web browser menu bar at all times. 

The Connector icon will change, depending on what kind of document it recognizes on the page. It may look like any of these options:
