Tired of manually writing and formatting your bibliographic references? Of reorganizing your bibliography every time you insert a new citation? Weary of dealing with the dispersal and lack of links between your bibliographic references, your PDFs, your notes, etc.?
Zotero is a robust, reliable, free and open-source reference manager, and even more a personal research assistant.
It makes easy and automatic all stages of bibliographic work, from importing references to citing them in a document, by generating citations or footnotes as well as the bibliography. Thanks to Zotero, you build a consistent and organized database and make the most of it in a single click in multiple contexts. Zotero also integrates a PDF reader, enabling you to annotate PDFs, generate notes from these annotations and finally insert these notes and associated citations directly into your word processing document.
By the end of the course, participants will have mastered Zotero's interface and main features. They will also be able to identify the resources available to go ahead further with Zotero by their own : forum, documentation, plugins, etc.
