Open the stand-alone desktop app on your device.
The above image displays the app layout. Buttons from left to right:
- Create a new collection: Use collections to keep sources separate for multiple assignments or projects.
- Create a new item: Manually add a citation to your library. First select a format (book, article, video, etc.) and then complete the form.
- Add an item by identifier: Add items to your library using a DOI, PubMed ID, or ISBN.
- New note: Add notes to a source in your library or create a standalone note.
- Add attachment: Attach a PDF or other file to a source in your library. This uses some of your 300 MB of free storage.
- Search: Use the drop-down icon for an advanced search of your library. Use the blank for a basic search, such as for tags, titles, years, or other info.
- "Locate" source online: At the bottom of the right-side icon menu, click the "Locate" icon (a circled arrow) to try to locate a copy of the source using various options. Library Lookup for Sullivan holdings needs to be setup in Zotero settings (see "Essential Settings")
- Sync: Instruct your library to sync with Zotero's servers. This happens automatically on a schedule but if you are doing important work quickly: save often!
