Selecting multiple records to export to Zotero in CLIO7

Use the book icon to export a single record. 

Please note: the book icon does not display consistently if you are paging through records.  We have reported this problem to Zotero.

  • If the book icon does not display, click the "Link to this Record" URL at the foot of the CLIO screen. 
  • This will open the record in a new tab, with the book icon displayed. 
  • By going between these two tabs you will  be able to export records directly to Zotero.
