On October 13, 2010, CRRC-Armenia organized an orientation training on “Managing Bibliographic Data with Zotero”, conducted by CRRC-Armenia Librarian/Information Specialist Veronica Grigoryan.

Zotero is a software program used for creating references and bibliographic data. It enables to record the necessary information on books and articles from the internet and later convert into a reference list in MS Word. Zotero can also be used for creating tables in Armenian language. The purpose of the training was to show the participants how to install and use Zotero, create and manage bibliographic data, as well as to establish reference tables with Zotero in MS Word in different citation styles.

The training was attended by librarians, students, lecturers and other interested parties.

CRRC-Armenia Program Manager Jenny Paturyan also participated in the discussions, following the training, sharing her wide experience of work with Zotero.

Veronika Grigoryan has a Master’s Degree in Political Science and International Affairs from American University of Armenia and Bachelor’s Degree in Economics from Yerevan State University and joined CRRC-Armenia in June 2010 as Librarian/Information Specialist.
