Questions about using Zotero? Schedule an in-person appointment or an online appointment with a member of our Zotero Help Team, or email us at researchhelp@brandeis.edu.
Brandeis Library offers free workshops for members of the Brandeis community. Sign up for a Zotero workshop, or request a workshop for your group.
The Library Lookup option in Zotero lets you locate items in Brandeis Library OneSearch so you can track down a physical or online full-text copy of the resource. Follow the instructions below to make this connection.
Once Library Lookup is set up, you can search for the full text of an item right from Zotero.
This will open a window in your web browser that will automatically look for the item in Brandeis Library OneSearch. If the item is available digitally, you will be able to link to it and/or download it. If the item is available physically in the library, there will be information on where it is located.
Reach out to a library staff member if you have questions about locating digital or physical items from the library! Use the "Chat with a Librarian" feature on this page or in OneSearch, or send us an email at researchhelp@brandeis.edu.
If you are getting an error accessing a resource, another thing to check is whether you have any browser extensions such as Zotero installed. The auto-proxy setting in Zotero Connector may be interfering with access to certain resources.
Once you're in the Proxy settings, remove any saved proxies in the Configured Proxies box by selecting the proxy and clicking the minus sign (-), and uncheck the boxes for "Enable proxy redirection" and "Automatically detect new proxies."
