Zotero is free citation management software, and most people know it as a tool for quickly generating bibliographies. However, it can also be used to shift students’ cognitive load to the tasks professors want students to focus on: implementing good search strategies, evaluating sources, and performing iterative searches. Zotero allows students to stay focused on the topic at hand instead of getting distracted by where they put the good results (in other words, no more browsers with 30 open tabs and confusion about which article to read next). Zotero can be especially helpful in research methods and senior seminar courses, or in any class where students need to manage and 10 or more sources.
