Public Digital Projects for Courses

This guide will help students and faculty create public digital projects, as part of a class, as a research project, or as a way of presenting their research or community-engaged scholarship.

Zotero

Zotero is an open-source bibliographic tool that makes it easy to pull bibliographic information about books, articles, and other media from the web and create bibliographies. Bibliographic entries can include pdfs of articles, and they can be annotated and tagged. It’s easy to create collaborative bibliographies by setting up Zotero groups; these can be private or public. Zotero would be useful for a class bibliographic project, or to serve as the basis for cooperative writing projects.
