Using Zotero will save you hours of typing out references, just work through these 24 short tasks and you'll be good to go.

Lesson idea. Zotero is free software which you can use: to record references manually and from online searches; to build up a library as you search online, store references on your computer AND synchronise them online with a free Zotero account; to tag and search references, store abstracts and notes on your readings; to compile references in your course assignments or thesis automatically - Zotero is designed to work in conjunction with Word and with OpenOffice.

Teaching approach. Work through this comprehensive but easily accessible study guide at your own pace. There are 24 short tasks arranged around 5 main sections as outlined in the learning objectives below. You can also see some preview snapshots of the book at the bottom of this page. Spend an hour or so with your workbook and save hours of typing out references.
