Living within your web browser Zotero is a free and easy to use toolbar that helps collect, manage and cite Internet resources. Zotero allows users to store information locally for access at another time. This tool works both online and off-line.
Auto capture works with news sources such as, Google scholar, Amazon, and online libraries taking notes about items. After text is captured students can then make notes and hi-lie certain areas of the text for quick reference later. Library items and notes can quickly be transformed into a easy to read printable page in Word. Seamless transfer to word format by dragging and dropping it into a document and auto formatted for APA format or what ever format your school requires. Bibliographic feeds allows users to up date research items as they are changed. The Zotero server allows users to share collaboratively information with other students as the user sees fit.
