Connecting Zotero to W&L’s Holdings

To take advantage of Zotero’s Library Lookup function, you must add an openURL resolving link to your Zotero 7.0 client. Follow the below procedure:

  • Open the Zotero app (what lives on your computer).
  • Select Edit on the top horizontal menu, then choose Settings.
  • In the resulting pop up box, select General
  • Scroll down to the subheading Locate.
  • Copy and paste the following address into the Base URL field: https://wlu.primo.exlibrisgroup.com/discovery/openurl?institution=01WLU_INST&vid=01WLU_INST:01WLU&
  • Simply close out of the Preferences window.

Downloading Additional Citation Styles

The Zotero client comes with several popular citation styles pre-installed, such as APA, Chicago and MLA.

If you need to use a style that does not come pre-loaded in Zotero, just…

  • Navitage to www.zotero.org/styles on the computer on which Zotero is installed.
  • Search for your desired style.
  • Select the style you want.
