Sharing Libraries with Friends
I am EXTREMELY computer illiterate. I need a VERY simple explanation of how you share libraries with friends. Can someone put this in EXTREMELY easy English so even the most computer illiterate can understands? Thanks!
Maybe start here:
http://www.zotero.org/support/sync
http://www.zotero.org/support/groups
On www.zotero.org login to your account. If you're already logged in You will see "Welcome azerbabe1" on the top right of the screen.
Click on "Settings" right next to that.
On the site that opens, select "Privacy" in the bar just below the "Zotero Settings" Heading.
Check the Box next to "Publish Entire Library" and click "update settings" on the bottom.
You're done. Everyone can see your library now from your profile page:

About customs: Two problems - when you come asking for help, we are glad to help, but we expect you to make it easy for us. One part of that is to tell us exactly where you are stuck - what have you done, what have you read, what do you understand, what don't you understand. All of us are busy so we don't want to waste time by telling you stuff that you already know or have already done.
Second - don't use all caps (LIKE THIS) - it's the online equivalent of yelling and generally considered quite rude.
That will bring up your profile with a link to your library. If you add "/items" to the end of that, after your user name, it will bring up your library (as long as it is public). You could also just copy the URL from your browser when you are looking at your own library, and of course your boss could search for you.
Now if you want your boss to actually install Zotero, and have items that are shared between your libraries, you will have to start a group from the groups tab on this website or the Zotero addon pane.
