group library or collection

indigenous research · July 31, 2014

I am trying to set up a new library for an Indigenous graduate student group. There are three items (as a test) in the library. They show up when I go to the "owner" page but are not listed when I go to the "group" page. I had not realized that in setting it up, I had somehow set up two different things --

Owner: AIRA Graduate Students ... and ... Group: Indigenous_Research

-- and that both of them "have" a library. But it only shows up for one of them. How can I fix this so the library items show up for both the group and the owner?

All Zotero accounts have a personal library. Group libraries are separate. And there's no particular need to create a dedicated Zotero account for a new project if you already have one — any existing account can be the owner of a Zotero library.

Anyhow, you simply need to sync an account that has write access to the group, and then you can create items in the library directly or drag items from the personal library.
