Note that most of the documentation listed below was written for older versions of Zotero and may not be completely accurate for Zotero 5 or 6.

A number of school libraries have put together very basic Zotero pages. Most of these pages have co-opted a bit of text from Zotero’s homepage, offering some basic installation instructions, maybe an embedded video on using Zotero and usually information on customizing Zotero to the specific institution. Other libraries have chosen to develop their own versions of Zotero’s quick start guide. In the examples below librarians at each of these institutions made their own set of screenshots, walking through what they saw as the key uses of Zotero for their patrons.

• University of Baltimore
• Stanford University (PDF; 2007)
• George Mason University (PDF; n.d.)
• MIT Libraries (PDF; 2017)

Other libraries and campus educators have developed more extensive guides. Each of these examples attempts to provide greater detail related to issues specific to groups of researchers or library audiences at their institutions.
