Zotero: A Versatile Research Tool for Genealogists

Patti Lee Hobbs will be talking about Zotero—open-source software developed specifically for researchers—is noted for its easy ability to capture source information to use in citations whether from websites, books, or electronic files. It’s as easy as a click of a button or adding an ISBN. But it does more. Extensive notes for each source can be created and files or links to files can be attached. Zotero will even automatically outline component parts of electronic files making it easy to find specific information easily. Electronic files can be “checked out” to a reading device and checked back in importing all highlighting and notes added by the reader. This webinar will demonstrate the research advantages Zotero offers genealogists.

About the Presenters:
