-In the Word document, copy the title of the journal article or book.
-Paste that title in the regular google search field. (It may be a good idea to place the title within quotes.) You don't need to use Google Scholar for this.
-In the search results find the item that resides on the publisher's website or on PubMed.
-Open the link in FireFox.
-If there is a zotero article or book icon in the URL bar, click it to download the item into your Zotero database. If not, look for a "download citation" link. RIS and BibTeX can be imported into Zotero.
If you have a reasonably fast Internet connection each title should take no more than 20-30 seconds. Unless you are a very fast and accurate typist this will save you a lot of time.
