Creating a Bibliography

One of the many helpful features of Zotero is creating a bibliography from the references imported into Zotero for your research assignment. To create a bibliography: 

1. Select the reference or two references you want in your bibliography. 
2. Right click on the selected references and select "Create Bibliography from Items".
3. Choose the citation style you need. 
4. Under "Output Mode," choose bibliography for a full reference and citation for in-text citation.
5. Under "Output Method," select "Copy to Clipboard" and paste into your document. 

To create a bibliography for more than one or two items:

1. Move all the items you want in the bibliography to the same folder/library. 
2. Right click on the name of the folder/library and select "Create Bibliography from Collection".
3. Choose the citation style you need.
4. Under "Output Mode," choose bibliography for a full reference and citation for in-text citation.
5. Under "Output Method," select "Copy to Clipboard" and paste into your document. 

Be sure to double check the citations after you have created a bibliography.
