Institutional Storage
Through the non-profit Corporation for Digital Scholarship, Zotero provides two options for institutional storage purchases, depending on the size of the organization involved. For more information or to purchase an institutional subscription, please contact storage@digitalscholar.org.
Institutional Starter Packs
These packages provide bulk storage discounts to educational, research, and commercial institutions. They are ideal for departments, small organizations, and labs. These packages are also perfect for piloting testing Zotero on a large campus. Larger packages offer greater discounts from the normal cost associated with individual storage subscriptions.
We provide a simple administrative interface for adding or removing users to your institutional starter pack subscription at any time.

Discounted More Than 80% for Universities and Libraries
To support institution-wide adoption of Zotero, we are offering a more than 80% discount on storage space for each of your users. We can now triple Zotero’s basic web storage space for all of the students and faculty at your institution. The annual costs are based on your institution’s FTEs. Please note that, like the institutional storage packs above, the total storage available per user is capped at the level of the subscription, e.g. 300 MB per user. Beyond offering these discounts on accounts for your users we are also delighted to include a 20% reduction on the cost of any additional storage (up to 25GB) purchased by students, faculty, employees, and alumni of your institution.
