Zotero

My book Zotero: A guide for librarians, teachers and researchers is available from ACRL Publications. You can buy it on Amazon or from the ALA Store, in print or ebook editions.

If you're considering an ebook edition, I recommend buying it from the ALA Store: you'll get DRM-free PDF, ePub, and Kindle/Mobipocket files that will work on just about any device out there. ALA also sells a print/ebook bundle. (As is unfortunately always the case, the Kindle edition sold by Amazon is encumbered with Amazon's DRM.)

Note to ALA Store customers outside the US: The ALA Store is set up only to ship to the United States, even for e-books. If you wish to purchase the e-book edition from the ALA Store, enter your State as Alabama and the Zip Code as 60611. Enter the rest of your address as accurately as possible. This workaround will allow you to purchase the e-edition. I hope that ALA will correct this problem soon. Please direct any purchasing questions or problems to ALA or Amazon, as I have no influence over the sales or distribution policies of either store.

"Puckett draws on his deep understanding of Zotero's technology to provide clear, concise guidelines and tips for beginners and experts alike. As a bonus, he convincingly argues why you -- yes, you -- need to be using research software and why Zotero is the best choice." -- Sean Takats, co-director of Zotero and and Director of Research Projects at the Roy Rosenzweig Center for History and New Media

"Jason does an awesome job of explaining how to perform both basic and advanced functions using Zotero. His book is geared not only to librarians, but to anyone doing research, to anyone who might benefit from a research assistant in their browser. ... This handy guide is a must have for anyone who does research or writes for publication." -- Nicole Engard, author of Practical Open Source Software for Libraries

The book's bibliography is provided below.

I'm very pleased at how many people have found this guide useful and adapted it. The Zotero project cites my guide as a model, and LibGuides includes it on their "Best of LibGuides" site!

These two PDF handouts summarize most of what I cover in a typical Zotero workshop.
