Zotero

Maintain Your library

To sync up your online Zotero library with your desktop library:

  1. 1. Click on Edit in your desktop Zotero application.

  2. 2. Click on Preferences, then General. Within File Handling find Miscellaneous and Groups, then select all boxes.

  3. 3. Click on the Sync tab and type in your username and password for syncing between the desktop library and the web browser connector.

 

Without syncing, your library will not be the same across devices, so be sure to set up an account!

In the Zotero desktop application:

1: In the top left click on edit, then preferences.

2: Select Advances.

- Under OpenURL select the box labeled "default" and go to North America, then find University of North Dakota. Click OK to close the window.

UND Institutional Storage

Starting in April, 2023 the University of North Dakota provides free, unlimited storage to all Zotero users who register with a @und.edu email address!

If you signed up with a @und.edu address originally, this upgrade happened automatically, and should be reflected in your online Storage page in settings.

If you signed up with a different email, you can add your @und.edu address on your main Account page.  Add your UND email address, and after you get the verification email, set that as your primary email address.

If you have already signed up for a private storage account, Zotero will suspend your renewals, but you will not receive a rebate for the rest of your subscription term.

This storage upgrade applies to all your libraries, including shared group libraries.
