Tips

  • Go to "Edit" > "Preferences" > "Sync" and make sure the Zotero client is linked with your online account.
  • Go to "Edit" > "Preferences" > "Advanced" and make sure the OpenURL resolver is set to https://libkey.io/libraries/273/ if you're on Main Campus. This will allow Zotero to download the full-text of an article automatically from on-campus.
