What are Zotero and Mendeley?

ZoteroFree organization tool for research references

Extracts bibliographical information from docs on web

Available as program, browser plug-in and offline platform

MendeleyFree reference and PDF manager, bibliography builder and annotation tool

Works best as program and available for offline platforms

Page 3: Instructional Technology & Design Office itd@support.lis.illinois 217-244-4903 or 800-377-1892

Zotero: Pick your format!

Third option is via zotero.com, which syncs with either/both versions

Page 4: Instructional Technology & Design Office itd@support.lis.illinois 217-244-4903 or 800-377-1892

Zotero: Basics

Citation ManagerLook for “capture icon.” If it’s not there,

there’s nothing to grab

Pulls bibliographic infoVarious item metadata including books, articles, and documents to web pages, artwork, films, sound recordings, bills, cases, or statutes

Interface Similar to iTunes, SpotifyItems in center column

Metadata on the right

Left column is navigation/My Library

Really Cool Stuff~

Can grab PDFs and put everything in one place. Zotero does a fairly good job at putting metadata off of the web

Can search and obtain information from ISBN, DOI, or PubMed ID

Functions within a browser

Has an advanced search feature

Can snapshot, save, and capture web pages

Not overly complex

Page 8: Instructional Technology & Design Office itd@support.lis.illinois 217-244-4903 or 800-377-1892

Zotero: Drawbacks

DrawbacksRecognizes most items but some must be added manually

Very little text, mostly icons

Sync requires several plugins, downloads but can be linked through Zotero account

Some other software may interfere with Zotero Sync like Kapersky Security, Symantic Endpoint, Skype extension for Firefox, etc.

Possible errors in versions of Word 2013 and new OS (Win8, etc.)

Mendeley Online: Dashboard

First thing you see: a dashboard with a newsfeed?

It’s a social networking web site (like Facebook!)

Really Cool Stuff~Interface has a good blend of words and text. Very organized layout in desktop version, making it easy to learn

“Watching folders”

Built-in PDF reader

Plugin for Microsoft Word -> look under “References” in Word

Backing up your data is easy! Help -> create backup

The options menu (under the tools menu)Allows you to choose what information to pull some online citations

Allows you to organize your citations in folders on your hard drive after creating a folder***

Mendeley DrawbacksMust download desktop program for full functionality

Must have Mendeley account

Web Importer cannot save pdfs pages (direct link to pdf)

Have to put it in your bookmarks bar manually

May not import metadata or document from behind paywall (through pay portal like EBSCO), especially author names.

Can’t import unsupported file types (i.e. images)

Adding files in desktop program is not too obvious

Word Plugin might not be supported for Mac 2013 or newer versions of Word (versions 2011 & 2008 do work!)

Not available for Windows 8 RT

Retrieves reference to file so if you delete it, it’s gone!

Importing from Zotero = one way. (tricky to import initially as well)

Final Comparisons

• Good for web based content • Good for variable file types• Search docs by any field

• Good for collaboration• Literature Search Option • Lots of

support/documentation• Collaborative community of

scholars on Mendeley.com

Would it be best to use a little bit of both?
