Zotero

Choosing the Design of Your Zotero Library

Zotero 7 offers several options for customising your library to suit your preferences.

  • If you have a large library, you may prefer a compact library, or you can stay with the default "comfortable" library view (menu View -> Density)
  • In the View menu, you can also change the font size for the library and the notes
  • If you like dark modes, you can find Zotero's dark mode in the Settings menu (General, Interface)
  • To modify the display of your library (add or remove fields), menu View -> Columns and select the fields.
  • The default header for the item pane (the pane on the right) is the title, but you can change this to "none", "title, creator, year" or "bibliographic entry" (to vizualise a citation for your document in the style of your choice). Go to the Settings menu -> General to modify this.
  • The language of your Zotero library depends on the language of your operating system, but if you want to change it, select another language from the drop-down menu on the General tab of the Settings menu.
