If you have references saved to your Zotero library that you regularly assign to students, it is a good idea to connect your Zotero account to Leganto Reserves+. This is a one-time setup and must be done by the faculty members individually.
In Zotero:
You will need two pieces of information: userID and a Key
- Login at zotero.org with your Zotero credentials.
- Click on your Name and select Settings.
- Under the Zotero Settings header, click on Feeds/API
- Find Your userID for use in API call. It is a 7-digit number
- Click on Create new private key
- On the New Private Key page
- Enter Leganto as the Key Description name
- Leave the defaults permissions
- Click Save Key
You will be directed to the Key Created Screen
- Copy the Key - it will be a long alpha-numeric code
- Leave this screen up as you work in Leganto Reserves+ for the next steps.
In Leganto Reserves+:
- Click on your initials to pull up the User Menu
- Select User Settings
- Under Zotero, enter the information:
- userID (7-digit number)
- Key (alpha-numerical key, copied from Zotero)
- Click save
When you click Add Items, you will not see Zotero as an option along with Library Search, Blank Form, etc.
