where is my library ?

elise.beck

Hi,
I used to use Zotero a few years ago. I built a library online but cannot find it anymore. I found a link to a reference that was in that library in a *.doc file. The link includes a user #. Apparently my account is still valid but my library is empty. Any idea where can I find it ? I used to use the online version of Zotero.

Thank you for your help

I used to use the online version of Zotero.

Based on the age of your account, I suspect you actually mean the old Firefox version of Zotero, which was still local to your computer, not the website, which is much more limited in functionality.

I found a link to a reference that was in that library in a *.doc file.

Is it the same user id you see if you hover over your username here? The account you're posting from has never synced.

In any case, Zotero should pick up any old Zotero data directory you had on your computer, but you can see Where did my items go? for things to check.

thanks for your quick answer. yes it was on firefox. Actually, the id user is different, I managed to recover my second account (and my library :)... I will make some cleaning to avoid later inconvenience.
Thanks very much!
