Get Involved With Zotero

There are a number of ways for you to get involved with the Zotero project. Zotero wouldn't be the dynamic responsive tool it is today without the tireless efforts of all our community members. Whether it's encouraging institutional adoption, putting the program through its paces, developing new extensions and plugins, or simply hollering Zotero's praises from the rooftops (or blogtops), there is an important role for you to play in both Zotero's present and its future.
