Zotero.

"Zotero [zoh-TAIR-oh] is a free, easy-to-use tool to help you collect, organize, cite, and share your research sources. It lives right where you do your work in the web browser itself."

After downloading 1) the stand-alone version and the corollary connectors for Chrome, Firefox, or Safari or 2) the Zotero-Firefox version, we will also discuss plug-ins for popular wordprocessing software as Microsoft Word and LibreOffice. Students are also encouraged to experiment with embedding Zotero within Overleaf Latex documents.

This session also discusses zotero for mobile and a Zotero-fork, i.e. Multilingual Zotero. Also handy: Zotfile, a "Zotero plugin to manage your attachments".

alternatives: [students are encouraged to compare alternative software packages with Zotero, discuss pros and cons, ]: Mendeley, ....
