Managing Sources

Zotero can be used to collect and manage a wide range of primary sources - not simply textual and not only online materials.

Zoterify your Stuff

Getting large quantities of existing references into Zotero

Importing bibliographic data

• From Endnote
• From Mendeley

Importing from other sources

• Try AnyStyle if you have a list of references in (eg) a Word doc or HTML page - it will attempt to parse them into data for you, which can then be imported into Zotero.

Case Studies

• DIY Image Management with Zotero (Elena Razlogova)

Manage a collection of digitised letters (and turn them into an online exhibit as a bonus!):

• Some exhibition magic with Zotero and Omeka (Tim Sherratt)
  • the letter collection on Zotero

Create a large textual collection for textmining:
