What does Zotero offer?

• Nothing gets lost when researching. With the Zotero Connector, you can send web pages and book titles from your browser directly into your Zotero project.

• Have standardised citations and your bibliography created automatically in Microsoft Word.

We can show you how to use Zotero in individual or group training sessions. Register in advance and bring your laptop with you to the agreed date. If you wish, you can install Zotero in advance.

If you would like to familiarise yourself with Zotero, our general handout on the first steps in Zotero may help you. Detailed instructions and help can be found on the Zotero support page.

Here you can download citation styles specifically tailored to the requirements of your faculties.

Before using the citation style, please read the general Zotero instructions and the instructions associated with the citation style.

We cannot accept any liability for the styles. You must ultimately ensure yourself, e.g. by adapting the imported book data, that your finished work fulfils the citation requirements of your faculties. However, we are happy to accept correction requests and information on errors in the style.

The Zotero Style Repository contains further useful styles. The mouseover effect shows you what a bibliography looks like.
