Need help with your academic writing?
A large part of your academic studies is spent communicating your work through writing. Often however, when we put our thoughts down on the page, this does not accurately reflect the level of understanding that we have gained in the course of our research. For library guides and recommendations on resources to help you develop your academic writing, take a look at our Guides & Resources for academic writing section on the Library website. You can also access further helpful tutorials in the Library Moodle.
Zotero is a free, easy-to-use tool that collects, manages and cites research sources. You can quickly create a bibliography in multiple referencing formats such as Griffith College Harvard referencing style, or Oscola, and manage in-text citations in Word. You have access to the full version of Word through your Griffith College Office 365 email account.
We have developed guides on installing and using Zotero in Word and linking it to the Griffith College Harvard referencing style. We encourage you to contact us quickly if you are having any issues with using Zotero and we will get you back on track.
