_data. Translations of this page: Locating your Zotero Library By default, your Zotero library is stored in the 'zotero' directory of either your Firefox profile (Zotero for Firefox) or in the profile of Zotero itself (Zotero Standalone). If you install Zotero Standalone when you already have Zotero for Firefox installed, you will get asked during installation whether you want Zotero Standalone to use the same library used by Zotero for Firefox (the reverse holds true if you install Zotero for Firefox after installing Zotero Standalone). The easiest and most reliable way to find your Zotero data directory is by clicking the “Show Data Directory” button in the Advanced tab of your Zotero Preferences window. In Zotero for Firefox, you can generally access the Zotero preferences from the Firefox Add-ons window even if you can't open the Zotero pane.

Default Locations The “Show Data Directory” button will always reveal the data directory currently in use. Zotero for Firefox Zotero Standalone 1. 2. Kb:no_address_bar_icon. Translations of this page: Why don't I see a Zotero icon in the address bar when viewing a web page? Zotero senses information on web pages through site translators, and a Zotero icon will appear only if a site translator recognizes the page being viewed. Zotero's translators should work with most library catalogs, popular websites such as Amazon and the New York Times, and many gated databases. If a site isn't currently supported or a translator isn't working, you can still save any web document, though you may need to fill in some details that Zotero couldn't automatically detect.

If you don't see a Zotero icon on Amazon product pages or NY Times articles (not the home pages), see Troubleshooting Translator Issues. If you see the icon on Amazon product pages and NY Times articles but don't see it on another supported site, you can report it in the forums. Be sure to provide an example URL. Kb:exporting. Kb:importing. Preferences:advanced. Translations of this page: The Advanced Tab has two sub-tabs: “General” and “Files and Folders”. The General Tab Debug Output Logging OpenURL Here you can specify a different OpenURL resolver for use with Zotero's Library Lookup feature. If you are on an institution network, you can click the “Search for resolvers” button.

You can also enter an OpenURL URL by hand in the Resolver field. Miscellaneous The Files and Folders Tab Linked Attachment Base Directory If you store attached files in Zotero — the default — this setting does not affect you. Allows you to specify a base directory for linked files, so that links are functional on two computers with different directory structures, e.g. when a folder with linked files is synced through a service like Dropbox. Database Location By default, Zotero stores files in a folder within the Firefox profile directory.

VUE (Visual Understanding Environment) is a free, open source mind mapping and data visualization software developed by the Academic Technology group at Tufts University in Boston. VUE is unique in that it offers a range of innovative functions such as tagging of nodes and of relationships, support for images, videos, and other objects within the mind map structure, and the ability to import and analyze datasets (from CSV files, XML files, and even RSS feeds) using semantic mapping.

It also functions as an innovative Powerpoint-style presentation tool, allowing users to define “presentation pathways” on top of the mind map structure, and to create presentation-style content that is associated with the mapped concepts. VUE can also be used in conjunction with the Zotero Firefox extension to map out and visualize online documents and web clippings. VUE is also a full-fledged, Powerpoint-style presentation software.
