Zotero for Law Students and Scholars

Zotero Introduction

Zotero is free and open-source reference management software to manage bibliographic data and related research materials. Notable features include web browser integration, online syncing, generation of in-text citations, footnotes and bibliographies, as well as integration with the word processors Microsoft Word, LibreOffice, OpenOffice.org Writer and NeoOffice.

Zotero collects all your research in a single, searchable interface. You can add PDFs, images, audio and video files, snapshots of web pages, and anything else. Zotero automatically indexes the full-text content of your library, enabling you to find exactly what you're looking for with just a few keystrokes, either in-browser, in the stand-alone version, or at zotero.org.

Zotero is the only research tool that automatically detects content in your web browser, allowing you to add it to your personal library with a single click. Whether you're searching for a preprint on SSRN, a journal article from HeinOnline, a news story from the New York Times, or a book from the library catalog, Zotero can add it to your collections.
