Please go to the web site for Zotero http://www.zotero.org and
'''Note:''' The tasks below might seem like a lot of tasks. However, depending on your overall familiarity with web browsers and productivity applications, it should only take you around one hour to do these tasks. It's important for you to prepare, in order to get the most out of the workshop.  


=== Action 1: Download Zotero ===
=== Action 1: Download Zotero ===
* Either download Zotero for Firefox, or
Please go to the web site for Zotero http://www.zotero.org and
* download "Zotero stand alone" and the "Zotero connector" for your preferred browser (e.g. Chrome).
* Download "Zotero" (the current version, e.g. version 5 upwards) and the "Zotero connector" for your preferred browser (e.g. Chrome).
To use Zotero for Firefox may be easier initially, and it's also the method described in the [[A Zotero Self-Paced Study Guide|Zotero Self-Paced Study Guide]], so that may be the better option.
The [[A Zotero Self-Paced Study Guide|Zotero Self-Paced Study Guide]] uses that version of Zotero.


=== ACTION 2: Create a login on the Zotero site. ===

You've already created a Zotero account in ACTION 2, so the only thing that remains is to enter the details in your preferences.
You've already created a Zotero account in ACTION 2, so the only thing that remains is to enter the details in your preferences.
If you get stuck with the above tasks, ask for help from your colleagues or the workshop leader prior to the workshop. However, don't worry if you don't manage to do everything - it's important though that you try, and spend about 1-2 hours on this.
=== ACTION 4: Think about how you would use Zotero ===
Once you've explored the above three ACTIONS, spend a few minutes thinking about using Zotero for your own research tasks. How will you use Zotero?
=== Extra tasks ===
If you find the above tasks easy, try to install two powerful add-ons to Zotero:
* Zotfile: http://zotfile.com/
* Zutilo: https://github.com/willsALMANJ/Zutilo
=== Note ===
The workshop will start with hearing how the above tasks went, and your thoughts from ACTION 4. So make sure you do them!
== The workshop ==
During the workshop, we will discuss any issues arising with the above tasks, and explore some further tasks from the work book. Because you've already done the basics as preparation, we'll be able to discuss a number of use cases of Zotero, such as
* Collecting references for an academic publication in any discipline.
* Collecting text from blogs for social science research.
* Setting up a shared group on Zotero, for sharing references and files.
* Using Zotero for research synthesis and systematic literature review
Note that while Zotero doesn't have as many advanced features as the specialised review software (e.g. EPPI-Reviewer software, http://eppi.ioe.ac.uk/cms/er4), it's perfectly possible to use Zotero highly effectively to create research syntheses and systematic literature reviews.
