Zotero Citations and Library Lookup

After you create or import a citation in Zotero, you can use the Library Lookup feature to find the full text item on the UT library website. Click on the green arrow Locate button in the Zotero window, and you will see an option for Library Lookup. This uses your authentication as a UT student, staff, or faculty member to search our databases for the citation. 

For this to work, you need to add the Open URL Resolver Information for UT Libraries. To check this information, follow the path: edit > preferences > advanced > Open URL Resolver. Copy and paste this link in the URL space:  https://search.lib.utexas.edu/openurl/01UTAU_INST/01UTAU_INST:SEARCH
