Zotero library for organizing openscapes resources

[jules32]

And to build directly into the Lesson Series

To use Zotero, you will need to download the standalone Zotero program and the web-browser plugin from here: https://www.zotero.org/download/

Hi @erinmr I've just created an Openscapes Zotero library and ported references from Lowndes et al 2017 and some additional ones; more to do especially with organizing and adding tags but it's a start 🤓

[jules32]

I also linked to it from:

• https://openscapes.org/champions in a new "Resources" section (that links to our old resources pages, which we can revisit another time
• https://github.com/Openscapes/teaching-learning-resources

[erinmr]

Will you add ***@***.*** to zotero too? Thanks! 🤓

Motivation:
I wanted to annotate papers on my ipad and keep them organized in Zotero (without printing a million pages). This process allows me to find references on my desktop, save them in Zotero and attach a pdf, send the pdf to my iPad to read/annotate and send back to Zotero to extract highlighted annotations.

This is a picture of my workflow >

Prerequisites :
I use Zotero to manage my references. I had a Zotero account, installed the desktop version of Zotero and had migrated my references to Zotero. I also had downloaded Goodreader to my iPad and checked that I could access files in my icloud folder between my iPad and desktop.

To get started:
I installed ZotFile followed these instructions

Clarifying Notes:

• I used iCloud for my cloud storage
• Source folder - download folder
• Location of Files = icloud and under tablet settings location of files = icloud
• Follow the steps to turn of sync under Zotero settings

Annotating/Reading on iPad:

1. In desktop Zotero > right click on file > manage attachment > Send file to tablet from desktop (this moves file to the icloud folder)
2. Open file in iCloud files on tablet
3. Choose Open with Goodreader and choose to keep file in place
4. Annotate/read
5. Go back to desktop > manage attachment > get from tablet (Brings it back to Zotero) and extracts annotations all at once

Awesome @erinmr I'm excited to try this. One question/opinion I'm curious about re: iCloud. I don't currently use iCloud for anything; would you recommend I use it here anyways to sync like you have, or would Google Drive be as effective? Why did you choose iCloud over Google Drive/other options?

I used icloud b/c I needed a folder on my computer and already had that. I don't have Google Drive or Dropbox installed on my computer to access files, I just use the browser.
