Zotero

Use groups to:

• Share your sources
• Collaborate on projects
• Discover others with similar interests

Group Libraries are separate from your personal My Library, so you can use Zotero groups as a way to keep separate libraries within one Zotero profile. (Make sure you have enabled Syncing so the libraries show up in your desktop program.)

• Dragging items between My Library and a Group Library creates a completely separate copy of the item

1. Create a New Group. Two ways.

• In Zotero desktop app, click the New Library icon.
