Using Zotero: Source Citations for Genealogy (Meetings)
7:00 pm
Join Mark Cross for his presentation on "Using Zotero: Source Citations for Genealogy."
We all craft source citations utilizing Evidence Explained. But what about managing those source citations? Especially for articles, presentation handouts, research reports and other written products, and working on multiple projects at a time? Zotero is a free software application available for Windows, Mac and Linux. Learn the power of using reference management software to streamline your work, manage sources, avoid duplication, keep a Research Plan and Research Log, all with time saving features such as plug-ins that streamline footnotes and bibliographies for Word, Scrivener, InDesign and others. This presentation will highlight features used by genealogists with a visual tutorial to get you started using Zotero for Genealogy.
The meeting will begin at 7:00 PM on Feb 16, 2026. This meeting will be held as a virtual meeting via Zoom. You can register for this meeting via Zoom HERE. We will resume having inperson monthly meetings at Christ Episcopal Church in March 2026. |
