Participants came from different backgrounds and arrived with wide range of prior experience with Zotero &#8211; from virtual novice to seasoned expert &#8211; but all left with wealth of new skills and information.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em>&quot;The workshop was exceedingly useful because it covered Zotero basics for the novice, but [also] gave librarians and other trainers the inside scoop on the way that Zotero works (&#8230;). Getting the hands on practice writing a citation style and a translator also drove home the fact that it is not too daunting a task for non-developers.&quot;<\/em> &#8212; Hannah Rogers, Public Services Librarian, Mercer University\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p>\n<em>Though I&#8217;ve used and taught Zotero for several years now, Sebastian&#8217;s workshop taught me many new tricks and techniques. It was an intensive look behind the scenes from an expert who really understands Zotero in and out, and helped me reach a deeper understanding of this fantastic software.<\/em> &#8212; Jason Puckett, Communication Librarian, Georgia State University, author of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Zotero-Guide-Librarians-Researchers-Educators\/dp\/0838985890\"><em>Zotero: A Guide for Librarians, Researchers, and Educators<\/em><\/a>\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>After gaining an in-depth understanding of Zotero&#8217;s functionality, participants discussed and shared strategies for supporting and documenting Zotero. The last session of each day was dedicated to going beyond <em>using<\/em> Zotero towards <em>extending<\/em> it. Participants learned that one need not be a &quot;coder&quot; to adapt a citation style or even write a simple translator for Zotero &#8211; the results of those sessions, a new citation style for the journal <em>Conservation Letters<\/em> and a translator for the <em>Atlanta Journal Constitution<\/em> website are now part of Zotero.
