Creating Item from Web page

re4med
Running the most recent Stand Alone version with Google Chrome connector. Is there a way to create an item from webpage? I seem to remember that you can simply click a button within Zotero and it happens automatically. Now I cannot find this option. Am I missing something?

Thanks!

    (right-click anywhere in the webpage --> save as Zotero snapshot in case anyone else comes looking for this).

    Just in case some one else comes looking, if there is no URL bar icon for a particular page, you can do save the webpage as Zotero item by right-clicking on the page and selecting Save Zotero Snapshot from Current Page.

    I'm sorry to ask this question again. But is there another way to save an item of a web page? It just didn't work out.

    Which version (Zotero Standalone or Zotero for Firefox) ?

    (Also, this applies when you want to store the reference of the webpage itself. If you want to add bibliographic information (books, journal articles, etc.) which are on a webpage, see : http://www.zotero.org/support/getting_stuff_into_your_library#adding_items_to_your_zotero_library )

    Zotero for Firefox

    The Problem is that i can't find the mentioned options. Neither the “Create New Item from Current Page” button nor by right-clicking the page and selecting “Save Zotero Snapshot from Current Page”.
    And I can't find the possibility to cite webpages manual.

    In Firefox the "Create New Webpage Item" button is in the Zotero toolbar, between the green plus and the magic wand.
    The right-click option is right-click --> Zotero --> Create New Item from Current Page.
    If Zotero is working otherwise, you have these functions, you may just not be looking in the right place.

    Hello, I am using IE and have Zotero Stand Alone. What are my options of saving webpages besides manually adding it using the green button?.

    Thank you
  • adamsmith
    there may just not be a great option, but it's possible dragging the URL from IE to Zotero will work.

    Of course that's for pages that are not supported by Zotero at all, you can still use the Zotero bookmarklet for supported pages.
