WGST 4001 : Zotero

You can use Zotero groups to:

• Share your own work or sources you have discovered with others who are working in related areas.
• Collaborate with colleagues, publicly or privately, on ongoing research.
• Discover other people with similar interests and the sources they are citing.

Zotero groups have different privacy settings for different needs. Private groups can share items in a library or collection and will not be publicly shared online (added to the Zotero group search). Public groups are groups that can be seen by the entire Zotero and online community using the search but have the options for differing membership.

For this class, you will be sharing your WGST annotated bibliography folder with Prof. Sullivan.
