ACTION 3: | === Action 1: Download Zotero === | ||
* Either download Zotero for Firefox, or | |||
* download "Zotero stand alone" 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. | |||
=== ACTION 2: Create a login on the Zotero site. === | |||
You will need this for synchronising your references online, and for sharing them with others. | |||
=== ACTION 3: Some exercises === | |||
Download the [[A Zotero Self-Paced Study Guide|Zotero Self-Paced Study Guide]], and do tasks 1-9 and 21: | |||
* Section 1: Installing the software/Basic Features | |||
** TASK 1: Download & install Firefox ''(You don't need to do this if you've already done ACTION 1. Firefox is not necessary, you can use another browser.)'' | |||
** TASK 2: Download & install Zotero ''(Again, should have been done in ACTION 1.)'' | |||
** TASK 3: Download & install the Word plug-in | |||
** TASK 4: Take a quick tour of Zotero | |||
** TASK 5: Set Zotero’s Preferences | |||
** TASK 6: Left-hand column: create a collection | |||
** TASK 7: Middle Column: Find & store references | |||
** TASK 8: Right Column: Check/Edit Individual Reference Information | |||
* Section 2: Searching, Sorting, Reports & Creating Bibliographies | |||
** TASK 9: Search Google Scholar | |||
* Section 4: Backing up & importing/exporting | |||
** TASK 21: Sync your library online | |||
For the last task, the manual doesn't have a lot of information, but refers you to https://www.zotero.org/support/sync, where you find the following instructions: | |||
<blockquote> | |||
The first step to syncing your Zotero library is to create a Zotero account (which is also used for the Zotero Forums). Then, open Zotero's Sync preferences tab and enter your login information in the Zotero Sync Server section. By default, Zotero will sync your data with the server whenever changes are made. To disable automatic syncing, uncheck the “Sync automatically” checkbox in this section. | |||
</blockquote> | |||
You've already created a Zotero account in ACTION 2, so the only thing that remains is to enter the details in your preferences. | |||
