Now open up Zotero and drag the reference you want in between the ref tags. Go ahead and add the information you want to reference or find it, and add empty tags where the reference should go. Now open an edit window for the Wikipedia article you want to add a reference for. On the Default output format drag-down menu, select Wikipedia Citation Templates and click OK. Click on the Export tab, which looks like a clipboard. To do this, open the Zotero window, click on the gear icon, and select Preferences. Set your default output style in Zotero to the Wikipedia cite template format (or whatever format the particular article uses, since Wikipedia does not have a house citation style). If you know what item you need to reference, it doesn't matter where you find a listing for it – you can also generate a reference from the book's listing on. This will work even if you don't have the Zotero window open. Clicking on it will save the book's bibliographic information to the current folder in Zotero. On the right side of the address bar in your browser, you should see a small book icon. To see how this works, you can go to a book listing on WorldCat. The symbol to the right of the Zotero logo indicates that the plug-in has. Now you can add a reference to your collection. The WU Library regularly offers introductory courses for Zotero and other. The middle panel will show information on all the references in the collection you have selected, and the right panel will show information on any reference you select. If you want to make sub-folders right click on the root folder and go to New Collection. By default has only a single root folder called My Library. The left panel keeps track of different folders of references, called collections. Open it up, and you will see three large panels. You should now see a small Zotero logo in the lower right of your browser window. After installing everything, restart your browser if needed.

Go to the official Zotero web site and download the latest release. Zotero (pronounced zoh-TAIR-oh) is free application that collects, manages, and cites research sources. In this case, you can click the clipboard labelled "Named references" in the toolbar, and select a previously added source to re-use. Often you will want to use the same source more than once in an article to cite multiple facts. Then click the "Insert" button and it will add the required wikitext in the edit window. This will pop-up a window, where you fill in as much information as possible about the source, and give a unique name for it in the "Name" field.

If you are using Zotero off-campus and access a library resource through the proxy, Zotero will ask you if you want to save the proxy and route through when you access the resource in the future. The proxy is automatically activated when you click on resources through the library website or catalog. The CMU Libraries' proxy server is a tool that allows off-campus library users to access subscription library resources, such as research databases, journal articles and e-books.
