So, if I understand this right, you are in the process of building a catalog of books and you do not already have a catalog of books. Is that correct? Have you looked at the section "When Zotero Senses Items on a Web Page" on http://www.zotero.org/documentation/quick_start_guide web page? This should get most of your work done easily. But this is of course to add on a single item currently on your web page. Furthermore, if you already have a database to be imported in to Zotero, perhaps this will help: "Importing Records From Other Reference Tools" at http://www.zotero.org/documentation/getting_stuff_into_your_library > More important, I cannot figure out how to get the bibliography that I > created in my Zotero account into a Writer document.

That is quite easy if you see the screen cast linked here: http://www.zotero.org/documentation/openoffice_integration But here is basic method in pictures under "Using The Plugin" section: http://www.zotero.org/documentation/microsoft_word_integration For users how do not have the word processor plugins installed, this might be helpful: http://www.zotero.org/documentation/creating_bibliographies Finally, you can try to get help on their forums web page. You have already created an account so you can participate in the discussions right away.
