If an item's full text is not in the database but you obtain it later (by scanning the item or getting the PDF from Interlibrary Loan or another website), you can add it to the item's citation in Zotero. Click it, and the item's citation information (along with full-text if available) will be added to your Zotero library.
When in a library catalog or database record for a particular item (for example, a journal article in Academic Search Premier), or on a free website, look for the Zotero icon in your browser's top toolbar. This method will be needed for unusual sources like primary sources, interviews, and documents that are unavailable on the Web.īut for sources in library catalogs/databases or on the Web, the best method is to use the Zotero Connector that you installed in your preferred Internet browser. You can manually add references to Zotero by choosing 'New Item' in the File menu, selecting the desired type of source (book, magazine article, etc.), and filling in the information necessary to create a complete citation in your preferred style.
