Install and Set Up Zotero

1) Get a (free) Zotero account.

Signing up with your Carleton email address will get you unlimited free storage.
Signing up with a personal email address will get you 300MB of free storage.

2) Install BOTH the Zotero program and the Browser "Connector."

If the Zotero connector doesn't seem to be communicating with your Zotero application, go to Zotero.org and log in with your zotero account. This will let your browser, and therefore the connector, know who you are, and it will be able to send citations to your Zotero application again.

• In Chrome you may have to "Pin" the connector in order to make it visible in your toolbar. Here's a screenshot of where to find that pin.
