With Zotero Standalone, you can create an item with a snapshot from the current page by right-clicking the page background and selecting “Save Page to Zotero”.ĭouble-clicking a Web Page item without a snapshot in your library will take you to the original webpage. Holding down the Shift key while clicking the save button will temporarily toggle the snapshot setting, allowing you to create a Web Page item with no snapshot even if the snapshot preference is enabled, and vice versa. To view the saved copy, double-click the snapshot.
If “Automatically take snapshots when creating items from web pages” is enabled in the General tab of the Zotero preferences, a copy (or snapshot) of the webpage will be saved to your computer and added as a child item. If the page isn't recognized by a translator, you'll see a gray page icon: With Zotero for Firefox, you can create an item from any webpage by clicking the save button in the Firefox toolbar. By default, translator updates are automatically installed, independent of Zotero updates. Just look for icons in the toolbar or address bar of your browser (for more information, see our compatible websites list). Zotero works with most library catalogs, several popular websites such as and, and many (gated) databases and websites of scientific publishers. For other sites, Zotero relies on website-specific translators. Some websites use a standard way to provide Zotero with data (via embedded metadata). Whether or not Zotero can recognize bibliographic information on a web page depends on the web page. If you have selected a collection in the left-hand column of Zotero (that is, a collection is highlighted in the left column rather than “My Library”), items are saved into that collection. Clicking this folder icon will open a window in which you can select the items that you want to save to your library: a list of Google Scholar search results), Zotero will show a folder icon. On some web pages that list information about multiple items (e.g. When you click this book icon, Zotero will save all of the bibliographic information about that book to your library, in a newly created “Book” item.

One of Zotero's most convenient features is its ability to find bibliographic information on the web pages you visit. This feature is available if you have Zotero for Firefox or have installed Zotero Connectors for Chrome, Safari, or Opera in addition to Zotero Standalone. If you've clicked on an article title, you will also see citation information in the right column. If you've clicked on a folder, you will see the article list in the middle column. The folder or article you selected will be highlighted, and you will see the information displayed in the columns to the right. To select a folder or article, click on it. The left column contains your folders, the middle column includes the article list located in the folder you have open, and the right column displays the citation information for your selected article. Once you open your Zotero Library, you will see three columns. If you installed Zotero for Firefox, you will need to open Firefox and click on the Zotero button. Zotero can be opened from a Z button in the main Firefox toolbar.
