• Build a smart to-do list that eliminates repetitive data entry and is there whenever you need it.

PRAISE FOR ZOTERO FOR GENEALOGY

“I'm really enjoying using Zotero, and it's a great fit for what I do, which involves a lot of essay- and book-length biographical and historical narrative. Figuring out the hacks for the more complex EE-level citations is cumbersome, but once I have a template I'm good to go. I wanted to say again that your book, Zotero for Genealogy, and its accompanying exercises were invaluable learning tools for me. I was able to begin using Zotero confidently and correctly right after completing them. Thank you!”----Margaret Hodges, PLCGS, Portsmouth, New Hampshire

“I’ve tried most of the organizing software for researchers and I must say after only a few hours of playing around with Zotero and Zotero for Genealogy I am already quite impressed. I’m starting 2 new projects this morning and I see almost a beautifully seamless transition to collecting evidence this way. ‘Z for G’ even addresses our need to create the perfect EE citation.”----M.
