Downloading a Book Citation
If Zotero detects you are looking at a book from a library catalog, Amazon, or Google books, or another repository, you will see a book icon in the upper right-hand side of your browser. Click on the book and the citation will be downloaded to your Zotero library as shown in the image below.
Downloading Multiple Book Citations
You might do a search in the library catalog and retrieve many results. In that case, you can use Zotero to select which items in your result set you would like to add to your Zotero library. To do so, click on the file folder icon in your browser bar. Once you do so, you will see all of the items in your search results set. Select which ones you would like to add to your Zotero library and click OK. The items will be added to your library as shown in the image below.
Saving a Journal Article Citation from a Database
Downloading Multiple Article Citations
As is the case with a library catalog, you can choose multiple citations to save from a database results list as shown in the image below.
Saving a Citation for a Web Page
To save a citation from a web page, click on the web page icon in your browser as shown below.
Zotero can't automatically capture citation info from some web pages, but you can still add them to your Zotero library.
Right-click in your browser and choose "Save to Zotero" from the menu. This will save a new "web page" item to your library. You can add information about the author, etc., if you wish.
This will also attach a snapshot of the page to the citation. Taking a snapshot saves a copy of the page to your computer. It includes the page's text and images, so if the page is removed later, or if you're offline, you'll still be able to view your copy.
