Zotero 2.0 and conclusion
The RSS functionality stems from
the 2.0 update Zotero released in 2009
(Owens, 2009). This update added
extensive online features that built
upon the core strengths of the program.
Users can now sync their libraries from
multiple computers and, perhaps most
significantly, citations can be shared in
group folders that can be configured for
various levels of privacy. This allows
small groups to work together on
projects or open up their library to
create collaborations with other Zotero
users around the world. The same web
site that houses these bibliographies can
also house mini-profiles of users in ways
that resemble a social-network. Should
users opt-in to it, Zotero’s web site can
build upon these online features to help
users connect with others who share
similar interests
