1. How do I rename existing collections
2. How to I move or duplicate a collection in my library to a group

(Since a lot of your questions seem related, I'd recommend keeping them in a single thread and also making clear if something has -- or hasn't -- worked for you).

1. I'm not sure if you can change the names of collections online (. If the software (Standalone or Firefox add-on) it's right-click on the Collection --> Rename collection.

2. You can just drag and drop collections between libraries (including "My Library" and any group). Again, that's not possible online, only in the software.

Thanks for your help and advise. All of my questions are related to the following.

I maintain a database in EndNote approaching 18000 references related to Hawaiian volcanism. I easily exported the database as a text file in the .ris format and successfully imported the entire database into zotero. I would like to place the .ris file on a U.S. Geological Survey public ftp site and, using the "volcanolistserv", invite users who have been unwilling or unable to purchase EndNote to download the file and import it into any open-access bibliographic database. Is there any legal or other objection to directing persons to zotero as software that I have used successfully?

no objection whatsoever, no.
