Displaying Complex Bibliographies on your Website with Zotero and WordPress

When Carle Illinois College of Medicine (CI MED) wanted to display research published by affiliated faculty, they contacted the library. Their choices looked like “manage hundreds of individual citations by hand line by line” or “get professional assistance.” Assistant professor Anna Liss Jacobsen joined forces with UX design specialist Dena Strong to develop a robust, streamlined method of displaying a complex bibliography of CI MED medical education publications in a WordPress-driven website.

In this presentation, we’ll describe how we developed the bibliography and warn about potential hazards. You’ll learn to set up something similar for yourself or colleagues, and where to get guidance developing similar database search results. You’ll be able to create a free Zotero library, feed it with the books, articles, and other publications of your choice, and connect it to a WordPress site with ZotPress enabled.
