Institutional Zotero storage

ben58 · July 23, 2010

(actually I have expected to find the answer in FAQs, or at least a discussion on the Forum).

I work at a research institution with some 200 researchers+students. I try to steer the colleagues from EndNote towards Zotero. Right now we have bought 5 GB storage for our group. The storage is bound to a person (me, in this case). This is OK for a small group with a few shared libraries. But the administration wouldn't accept some 30 persons paying each for their 5 GB (which then have to be reimbursed), and I wouldn't be able to persuade these 30 persons into managing their group storages.

What we need is some institutional storage (say, 50 or 100 GB) and some way to allocate quotas to individuals and groups. I think, it's a very common situation. Is it possible? Or is it a planned feature?

This is addressed in the FAQ.

E-mail that address.

Well, kind of addressed. My question was "what about quotas management", and the FAQ answer titled "How much does it cost?". And I have indeed overlooked the following hint:

We'll be happy to work with you or your institution, lab, or research group to offer a customized and affordable solution.

Dan, thank you for your answer. I'd mail them.

How can I find out if my school has purchased an institutional plan? Thanks.

Ask at your library. AFAIK there are currently very few schools with institutional subscriptions, so chances are it hasn't.

Thanks!

It will tell you on the storage settings page if your institution is providing storage (assuming you've associated an email address from that institution with your Zotero account).
