Zotero is a powerful and free research tool, (that can be used offline), designed to store, manage and cite bibliographic references such as books and articles. In Zotero's Library one is able to create new collections where items relating to specific topics can placed. Collections are also able to contain sub-collections enabling complete organisation of ones sources. Items that are stored in Zotero can also have files, notes and links attached to them. Zotero also has the ability to insert citations directly into a Word document using a variety of referencing styles, and this Zotero Word Screencast demonstrates this feature clearly.
SUCCESS!
After a couple of easy steps I have downloaded Zotero onto my Mac.
The Zotero website has a fantastic quick start guide which contains a list of basic features as well as an informative video tour.
I feel like a weight has been lifted of my shoulders now that I have a referencing tool to work with. I must admit I was getting rather stressed when I was unable to access EndNote, especially after all the research I had undertaken in order to be able to use EndNote.
