Generating an Excel Spreadsheet from Juris-M Citation Manager

Juris-M is a variant of Zotero a Bibliographic Citation Manager. Juris-M has added support for legal authorities. It can downloaded from here: https://juris-m.github.io/

This presentation will show briefly how to capture bibliographic materials and save to Juris-M.

It will focus on how to push that bibliographic content to an Excel spreadsheet.

Juris-M is a variant of Zotero and guides on Zotero apply to Juris-M as well. There is an excellent research guide on Zotero here: http://guides.lib.fsu.edu/zotero

This collection will be on administrative law. I’ll first do a search in the university online catalog.

Whenever Juris-M recognizes bibliographic information it presents this icon. Click on that icon to save information to Juris-M.

I’ve gone to Heinonline to find articles. I can check multiple articles and add bibliographic information from all selected articles simultaneously.

I have a pretty good selection of books and articles. I can create a bibliography by right clicking the collection and choosing Create Bibliography from Collection.

I can choose Bluebook style, but keep in mind this will not be perfect. It will still need to be reviewed.

To create an Excel spreadsheet, right click on the collection and then click Export Collection.

Choose CSV or comma-separated values.

Save as a .csv file.

Open in Excel

Choose Delimited and click Next.

When you open the file you’ll be prompted to make a series of decisions.

Choose Comma and click Next.

For Data Format choose General and click Finish.

Here is just a small portion of the Spreadsheet.

I think it’s easier to view by expanding each column. You can mark off the entire worksheet and choose Format and then AutoFit Column Width.

And I can sort by field. I’ve sorted by Publication Year.

I’ve sorted by Author.

This is sorted by Title.

You also have access to other fields like pages and volume.

Here is publisher information and Call Number.
