The Library offers community members two options for self-guided, asynchronous tutorials, which can be completed, navigated through, and returned to at each user's leisure and discretion. The first tutorial will provide users with a granular overview of some of the basic functions addressed in the video, guided by step-by-step directions. The second tutorial will provide users with an interactive overview of the Zotero interface and is intended to call attention to the tool's layout, prominent features, icons, and buttons. Enjoy!
Zotero has a wonderfully vibrant and generous user community when it comes to questions, documentation, tutorials, etc.
