Giving your sources credit is one of the things that makes scholarly writing different from other kinds of writing. The mechanics of how to do it change from discipline to discipline, and sometimes from journal to journal. Trying to keep all the details clear and build citations and bibliographies can be time-consuming and aggravating. As librarians, we\u2019ve watched researchers\u2019 first encounters with Zotero<\/a> many times, and we always delight in their expressions of relief.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here are a few things we enjoy demonstrating:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When you find a source, one click on a browser\nicon can import all of its bibliographic information, and another two clicks\ncan add it to your document, fully formatted as a Chicago-style footnote:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Heyer, Kristen E. \u201cBridging the Divide in Contemporary U.S. Catholic Social Ethics.\u201d Theological Studies<\/em> 66, no. 2 (2005): 401\u2013440. <\/a>https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/004056390506600208.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With\na few more clicks, you can change it–and every other citation and\nbibliographic entry in your paper–to APA format:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Heyer, K. E. (2005). Bridging the divide in\ncontemporary U.S. Catholic social ethics. Theological\nStudies<\/em>, 66<\/em>(2), 401\u2013440. <\/a>https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/004056390506600208<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can add the record to a folder to organize\nit, and\/or add it to a group and share that group with anyone from a small\ncollaborative team to just about any arrangement of public or private group.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
