LibGuides: Zotero Basics (Workshop): Home

Introduction

This guide provides some notes from our Zotero workshop, gives you links to get you started, and will offer some tips and tricks to help you make better use of Zotero.

These workshops are offered to graduate students several times per year. To inquire about the next scheduled workshop, please use the "Email me" link in the contact box.
