Importing bibliographic information from the web into Zotero library

One of the very important feature of Zotero you may would like to know is importing reference information automatically from the internet into Zotero library. In the internet, you can find bibliography or references that are related to your field of expertise. Let say Google Scholar. Do you know that you can actually import those references into your library in Zotero? This will save you a lot of time because you don't have to type any single reference.

Here is an example how to do that.

1. Go to Google Scholar
2. Type in your keyword you would like to find
3. After you click Search, your search results will appear along with a folder icon on the browser bar (in Firefox)

4. Clicking on folder will produce a list of items with check boxes next to them; choose the ones you want to save and Zotero will do the rest.
