Saving Other Types of Sources from the Web

Saving non-journal article sources works exactly like saving journal articles. The only difference is that the color and shape of the Zotero web browser connector is going to change.

Remember, it's important to let the page load fully before clicking the Zotero connector; otherwise, the information you save can be incomplete.

Here's a few examples of how the connector changes depending on what type of source you've found. 

Webpages:

A web browser, with a red arrow pointing to the Zotero browser plugin (shaped like a light blue rectangle).

 

E-books:

A web browser, with a red arrow pointing to the Zotero browser plugin (shaped like a dark blue rectangle).

 

Newspaper articles: 

A web browser, with a red arrow pointing to the Zotero browser plugin (shaped like a grey rectangle).

 

Blog posts:

A web browser, with a red arrow pointing to the Zotero browser plugin (shaped like a grey and orange rectangle).

 

Videos:

A web browser, with a red arrow pointing to the Zotero browser plugin (shaped like a grey circle).

 

Here's an example of what these will look like when saved to your Zotero account. 

The Zotero program, with a number of sources saved to it.

 

Zotero will attempt to attach the PDFs of any ebooks, and will save a "snapshot" (screenshot) of each webpage, newspaper article, or blog.
