 <http://zotero.org/> Zotero is a free, open-source reference manager for
librarians and researchers of any level, from high school student through
university faculty. It takes advantage of the best features of both desktop
and cloud applications to turn the Firefox web browser into a powerful
research tool. In this course, an experienced instructor will take you from
zero Zotero knowledge to Zotero master.

Through hands-on activities, reading, and discussion, participants in this
course will:

*	Week 1: Install, learn, and use Zotero. Create your personal library
and explore how it works. Create bibliographies for word processors or the
web. Discuss how your students or users might benefit from Zotero.
*	Week 2: Store your Zotero library in the cloud to access it from any
computer. Use group libraries to collaborate, share, and publish resources.
*	Week 3: Examine and discuss best practices for teaching and
supporting Zotero in the library.
*	Week 4: Learn and discuss tips, tricks, hacks, and advanced
techniques. Share your final project: create a practical application for
teaching or using Zotero in your own library.

Prerequisites: Participants must use the
<http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/personal.html> Firefox web browser and
either Microsoft Word or Open Office. No technical skills beyond basic
computer literacy are assumed.
