Zotero: stand alone version

For those who were kind of bug by the slowering work from the zotero extension on Firefox [pre v4], no appears the Zotero Stand Alone [ZSA] version.

Now, I have to recognize, the Zotero plugin in FireFox 4, runs much faster than the previous –I would think this was due to the firefox browser, and not from the zotero extension, but this is only a guessing.

A few people have been having problems with Zotero Connector for Chorome, which allow you to save references from Chrome Google Browser to your Zotero database. I was having the savem prolem; till I notice two things:

1. you have to enable the connector system in firefox, and have firefox running so the Chrome shows the Zotero Icon for saving references.

or

2. you have to have the Zotero Stand Alone running, in order for the Chrome extension to show the Zotero Icon for saving references.

How to create References in ZOTERO

 

Zotero is a plugin for Mozilla Firefox that permits to manage a whole library of references. Zotero webpage itself has many video tutorials, and also you can find other videos in youtube.

Nonetheless, here you can find a straightforward video, that shows how, while writing a simple paragraph, Zotero is use to add the cites and generate a reference in APA format. I have to warn you though, these video notes are in spanish, but the main for this tutorial are the actions.
