Zotero

Zotero's Groups feature allows you to share references with other Zotero users online. It's a great way to work on collaborative research projects.

In Zotero you can start your own groups(s) or join existing groups. 

You will find three types of groups: 

• Public, Open Membership: Anyone can view your group online and join the group instantly.
• Public, Closed Membership: Anyone can view your group online, but members must apply or be invited.
• Private Membership: Only members can view your group online and must be invited to join

Begin by setting up a group within the program, then invite colleagues to join. To set up a new group go to zotero.org and login.

• Navigate to Groups tab then click on the “Create a New Group” link on the groups landing page on the Zotero website.
• On the next page: choose a name for your new group and select the type of membership you want to assign to the group.Click on Create.
• A new page will open asking you to select the Settings for the group, once you have done so click Save Settings.

Once you have set up your new group, you will see it in your Zotero Desktop library on left hand collections pane: My Library and Group Libraries. You can drag items back and forth between the two libraries at will.
