Creating a New Collection
By default, Zotero stores new citations in "My Library." You can create multiple folders, or "collections" to organise your research by topic or assignment.
To create a new collection:
-
Right click My Library and click New Collection. You can also click the 'New Collection' icon on the tool bar to create a new collection.
-
Give a name to the collection.
-
To add items to your collection from your library, simply drag and drop citations to place them into collections.
You can create multiple folders to organise and manage your references. A reference can be in more than one collection at a time.
