Add a new item:
To manually add an item to your Zotero library, click the green “New Item” (
) button at the top of the center pane, and select the desired item type from the drop-down menu.
An empty item of the selected item type will now appear in the center column. You can then manually enter the item's bibliographic information via the right-hand pane.
Add item using ISBN, DOI, or PMID:
Zotero can add items automatically using their an ISBN number, Digital Object Identifier (DOI), or PubMed ID. This is done by clicking the Add Item by Identifier button (
) in the Zotero toolbar, typing in the ID number, and clicking OK. You can even paste or enter (press Shift+Enter for a larger box) a list of such identifiers at once.
