9 When should I use ZoteroBib 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 shared research library and 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. Citations are generated by the same 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 until you delete them or clear your browser’s cache. If you’re worried about losing your bibliography, use link to this version (save a specific URL like Each uploaded version is stored for at least six months from when it was created or last viewed.

10 How do I add entries to my bibliography in ZoteroBib?
ZoteroBib can automatically extract bibliographic data from newspaper and magazine articles, library catalogs, journal articles, sites like Amazon and Google Books, and much more. The easiest way to add an item to ZoteroBib is by pasting in a URL. Just open a new browser tab, find what you’re looking for, and copy the page’s URL from your browser’s address bar into ZoteroBib. If saving from a URL doesn’t work, or you have a book, printout, or PDF that you can’t easily find online, you can copy or type in an ISBN, DOI, PubMed ID, or arXiv ID. Adding by identifier helps ensure that you’re adding the correct version, which is particularly helpful for books with multiple editions. You can also search for books and articles by title (and optionally author, year, and publisher): Ex: The Habsburg Empire If all else fails, you can enter item details by hand by clicking Manual Entry.
