Group Libraries

Zotero Groups allows you to create a library and share it with classmates and colleagues. These collaborative groups are separate from your Zotero library and can be public or private.

There are three roles for users:

regular members - can add and edit the library
Administrators - can edit the group private/public status, member roles, and library settings
Group library owners - have the same abilities as administrators plus they can transfer ownership or delete the group
