Here are some tips and hints on using the FoAM library and its online catalogue, focusing on its own particular idiosyncrasies. This is not a guide on using Zotero or library systems in general. Please refer to the following links or do a search to find out more about this.

• Zotero documentation

The library is organised into the following sections:

1. Books shelf: A to Z by author or title
2. Digital Media shelf: CDs, DVDs, CD-ROMs, but also a few video tapes and some peculiar and archaic software
3. Fiction shelf: mostly paperback fiction books
4. Magazine and Journal shelf: periodicals, includes many miscellaneous titles with only one issue
5. Unperiodicals shelf: reports, conference proceedings, yearbooks
6. Ephemera boxes: brochures, leaflets, postcards, flyers, etc. organised by year
7. Temporary Autonomous Sections: modular extensible subsections that can coagulate or dissolve at any time for particular people, projects, themes
