Zotero is not only for individual use, but group use as well. This page will walk you through the steps to creating a Group Library. This makes it easier for students in group projects to share, highlight, and arrange main concepts or themes within a project.
To create a Group Library, you must first go to zotero.org/groups. You will always need to go to the Zotero website to create or edit Group Libraries - even if you have already downloaded the software! From here, register to create an account - you can either use your Juniata email or your personal email. All students working together will need to register, but only one member needs to create the group. Once you have registered, click on Create a New Group.
From there, choose a Group Name and Group Type.
Group Types decide how private or public you want your group work to be. From here, you can further individualize your group by permitting reading and editing access. Once you've customized these aspects, click Save Settings.
Next, click Member Settings and Send More Invitations - this is how you invite other members to join the Group Library.
From here on, you can view your Group Library in your Zotero app! Now you can share ideas, sources, and notes with your team members.
