Zotero is portable! Not only can you use Zotero across multiple computers, you can also share your information with colleagues. Depending on your needs, one of the following options may work better for you than others:

• Using Portable Firefox on a USB Drive

• Zotero over a Network

• Using a folder synchronization service or Rsync (over SSH) to manage your Zotero library across computers

Please note that the current version of Zotero does not support multiple users reading and writing to a library at the same time. Fuller capabilities for collaborative Zotero research are due in 2.0.

N.B. Remember, it's always a good idea to back up your data.
