Organise references

Organise Your Library

Create Folders and Sub-Folders to organise your items.

From Zotero, click the folder button with the green plus sign to create a new 'collection' or folder.

To add references into collections, select one or more items and drag and drop them into the collection. References in collections are mirrors of the reference contained in 'My Library'. If a reference item is removed from a collection, it will not be deleted from 'My Library'.

Tags and Notes

Tags

As references are added to Zotero, a Tag pane is provided on the left hand side of the screen.

These are based on the tags contained within each reference.  When a reference is selected, the Tags tab can be accessed. Click the 'Add' button to add further tags to the reference.  Tags can be used to find similar articles.

Notes

Note can also be added for each reference. Click the 'Notes' tab to add a note.  The note appears below the reference item (click the arrow on the left of the item)
