This book purports to discuss using Zotero, citation management software, to manage genealogy research. Since it begins with a description of how to use Zotero in general, I found it very useful. ( )

Donna Cox Baker offers genealogists a glimpse into the ways she uses Zotero to manage her research logs, research notes, to do lists, and digital files. She explains her simple filing system. While my system is broken out just a little more, I probably will not change the system to align with her method, and she suggests using what works for you and to use the same system for print as digital. While Zotero creates Chicago Manual of Style 17th edition citations, they do not align perfectly with genealogy's Evidence Explained style. She offers tweaks she uses to get similar data in her citations, but the order bugs me. For this reason, I probably won't use Zotero for creating more than simple book or article citations. However, I do like the power it offers in searching and indexing data on the hard drive and in linking to files on the computer and online. I feel she needed to explain the ZotFile extension a little better as I found myself still asking questions about how it worked. Baker's book offers a good introduction for genealogists, and it should help me in working with university students who wish to use it. ( )
