This hands-on workshop will help you to stay organised and reference accurately using Zotero. You will learn how to add items to your Zotero Library, how to automatically add citations from Zotero to your work, how to annotate and take notes in Zotero, and more.

This session will focus on using Zotero to reference common academic sources: journal articles, books and book chapters.
