If you are majoring in the sciences, you may want to consider using EndNote as your citation manager.
Zotero is a free, easy-to-use software that can help you collect, manage and cite your research sources. It functions as a stand-alone desktop application that can be used with Firefox, Chrome, Edge, or Safari. (Be aware that there is ongoing work on Safari support because there have been some bugs in Mac support for browser extensions -- you may find it easier to use Chrome or Firefox with Zotero.) Zotero has a group function online that enables multiple users to share citations. Install Zotero by visiting zotero.org.
Zotero documentation includes information on installation and a helpful Quick Start Guide, as well as a FAQ.
This guide shows you how to set up and use Zotero to manage your citations
Zotero groups created by others can also be a useful resource for finding citations. Here are a few groups that are open to the public that could be relevant for Environmental Humanities.
