American History MA - Gettysburg College-Gilder Lehrman : Cite Your Sources

Zotero is citation-management software, which means it helps you collect, manage, and cite any sources you find. It’s useful for staying organized, but it also helps by saving you time during the research process.

Since it’s an open-source tool, you can create a free account as you long as you’re fine with having a 300MB storage limit. This tends to be more than enough storage for people’s time at Gettysburg.

For instructions on how to set up the application and begin using it, see this section of the Citation Research Guide. If you have further questions, see the Research Assistance box to the left for ways you can contact a librarian.
