Limit to amount group members?

Hey!
we want to start using Zotero as a central online library for articles and journals. also because of the integration with Word as reference manager.

My question, is their a max amount of group members allowed for group libraries?

    No, not technically. Speaking from experience, though, having too many people who are able to edit a library tends to not work well -- someone is bound to mess up and delete items or whole collections etc.
  • JD12345afdfadsfadf
    I see.
    How did you mitigate that in your experience? limiting "library editing" to admin's only?
  • adamsmith
    Exactly, yes.
    In my research group, we have a slack channel were people post things they'd like added to Zotero and then have our graduate assistants do semi-regular sweeps and add those items. That obviously won't work if people are actively writing and want to add works quickly for CWYW.
    I actually just tend to use one group per project for those projects with just the people who are actively participating, but different groups may have different experiences.

    Great! Thank you.
    Following your way of working, I could make one "mother" group as the base where to store all files, articles, etc.
    And then work with separate groups for projects/teams.
    Interesting!

    A model I’ve seen work well with a “mother” group is to allow members of the small project groups add there and then you regularly sweep through to copy things over to the main group
