numbering articles
Hi,
My colleague and I want to split the articles in our zotero library so we can review our share of the literature.
We think numbering the articles in our Zotero library will make this easier because I can do all the odds and she can do the evens.
Can I number the articles in Zotero? Is there an automatic way to do this?
If not, how else have people labeled their articles to enable task sharing between team members?
Thanks!

(you could also subdivide the articles into separate (sub)collections)
The other reason numbers would be good is for quick reference.
Example, I read three articles, 2 are by the same author. I pass these on to my colleagues to read. If they want to refer to one of the articles by an author it would be easier for them to say article number 1 as opposed to article A by the author X titled Y. I still think numbering will allow for the next level of literature management when working in large teams.
One of the nice things about using a reference manager is that just sending a full citation is no more work than looking up a corresponding number: you just drag&drop from Zotero. As an added benefit, your correspondent knows immediately what you mean and doesn't have to check the numbering in Zotero.
Thanks!
But thanks for your suggestion aurimas. I'll look into it. I work primarily with shared group libraries.
