How to use the Bibliography

Using the bibliography as a reference tool

The bibliography is currenlty accessible via its page on the Zotero website where you can search across the entire content and filter columns by author or title. The sections on the left make it a useful tool, for society members looking for references on a specific subject, but also as a starting point to give to students embarking on research on the First World War.
Zotero users can join the group bibliography on the Zotero website by simply clicking on the “Join group” button. When you next synchronise your Zotero database, the entire group bibliography with its subcategories will appear in the groups section of your own Zotero. You can then use the functions of Zotero you are used to : editing bibliographies for students in any given citation style, citing references as you write, but also dragging references (or whole collections) into your own database (“My library”) for annotation or adding files of your own.

Using the bibliography to keep up with new publications

As the editors add references to the group bibliography when they see them appear, you can use this bibliography to keep up to speed on new publications.
There are several options:

• If you already use a reader for RSS-feeds, you can add the RSS-feed for the group bibliography [https://api.zotero.org/groups/55813/items/top]
• If you use Twitter, you can choose to follow the group bibliography’s Twitter account, @FWWbib
