To get Started
Step 1: Go to http://www.zotero.org/ and click on the red Download button.
Step 2: Connectors allow your web browser to save citations to your Zotero library.
The Zotero downloads page should automatically detect what browser you're using and give you a link.
Each browser has its own version of the Zotero connector, so if you use Chrome, Firefox and Safari you'll need to install all three.
