Zotero Guide

You can use Zotero to automatically generate bibliographies of selected sources in the citation style of your choosing.

1. While pressing the Ctrl key, click the citations in your Zotero library that you wish to include
2. Right-click (ctrl-click on Mac) and choose "Create Bibliography from Items" in the pop-up menu
3. Pick a citation style and output mode (footnotes or bibliography)
4. Pick a format (RTF is best for Word, but clipboard will enable you to paste it into Google Docs)
5. Press the OK button

While most of the common citation styles are already in Zotero, the one you want to use may not be. To load a citation style so that you can create bibliographies and citations in that style, follow these steps in the Zotero program on your desktop:

• Go to your Preferences menu. On PCs, go to Edit (at the top), then Preferences. On Macs, go to Zotero (at the top), then Preferences.
• Click over to the Cite tab.
• Select "Get additional styles" at the bottom of the list of available styles.
• This will open a pop-up window where you can search for and select the citation style you want to add. When you find it, simply click the blue link of the citation style, and it will be added to your list of available styles.
