    Tip: Although we've organized our notes using Diigo Outliner, we should still add any source we want to reference to our citation management software Zotero. This helps us create a complete References or Bibliography page.
    1
    This is the same news article we just read and annotated using Diigo; now, let's save it to Zotero—just click the Zotero extension from your browser bookmarks bar
    User selects the Zotero extension from their browser toolbar
    2
    By default, Zotero will save to whatever collection / folder you last used
    The pop-up window shows Zotero is saving to the most recently used Zotero collection, in this case: Artifical Intelligence
    3
    To select a different collection, click the dropdown arrow and find the correct collection for this project
    User selects the drop-down arrow in the pop-up window to show all possible Zotero collections, not just the Artificial Intelligence one
    4
    Let's check that the upload worked appropriately; open Zotero
    User selects the Zotero icon from their computer taskbar

    9
    Click the title of the news article...
