21. Capturing the web with Zotero

Capturing the web with Zotero
The web is not stable by definition: zotero captures today what you will need to view tomorrow.
Zotero creates new primary sources directly from web pages and sites viewed in your browser.
Web sources need to be contextualized with zotero tags, notes, meta-data’s and folders.
Using the web as a «primary source database» obliges to find web sites not anymore available online and previous versions of websites. Zotero keeps as many versions you need inside your folders.
Zotero offers a correct way to cite and re-use captured web contents

25. Should I use ZoteroBib or Zotero ? See FAQ
If you just need to create a one-off bibliography for a paper, ZoteroBib is the quickest and easiest way to do it.
If you’re working on a longer-term project, want to build up a research library to use across multiple projects, or need to collaborate with others, Zotero offers many more features
ZoteroBib supports over 9,000 CSL styles, including popular styles such as APA, MLA, and Chicago/Turabian. These are the same styles used in Zotero, and we work hard to make sure they stay up to date with style guide recommendations and publisher requirements. Citations are generated by the same sophisticated citation engine used in Zotero.
Your bibliography is stored in your browser’s local storage by default. You can close the page and return to it later, and your bibliography will still be there — no need to worry about saving your data or logging in.
Bibliographies are stored in your local browser storage until you delete them or clear your browser’s cache.
