View/manage professor's library

abalot
My professor has been using Zotero to curate his articles into specific folders. He wants me to be able to have access to his library and view/manage files. I just made an account, but what should I do to view and manage my professor's files? Is there some sort of syncing process that we need to follow so I can gain access to them?

Apologies if this is a duplicate post, but I couldn't find a post that seemed to answer. Thanks for any help.

    The best and most common way to do this would be to have a group library which both of you would join. Your professor would move the relevant literature into that library and you'd then be able to edit & add to that library from your own account.

    The alternative would be for your professor to give you the login for his account. That would allow you to view&edit his library right away, but you couldn't _also_ have your own library easily (and there may be other reasons he may not want to do that).

    Ah, thanks adamsmith! My professor had a grad assistant prior to me who had access- would that likely mean they had set up a group library? I don't think that he used the login information for his account.

    most likely, yes, but you'd have to ask him and he'd have to invite you
