This is the temporary Github webpage for Gareth Spanglett.

I have recently finished a Zotero stylesheet for Canadian legal citations and bibliographies.

It is compliant with the McGill Style Guide (9th ed), and is now available for both English and French citations.

Intro to Zotero

1. create account: go to https://www.zotero.org/ and create a free account.
2. install software: go to https://www.zotero.org/download/ and download the correct version for your operating system (Windows, Mac, Linux)
   • software should also automatically install MS Word addon
   • for help on the install: https://www.zotero.org/support/installation
3. add browser plugins: from the same URL as #2 above, download and install the browser plugin(s) for Firefox, Chrome and/or Safari.
4. add McGill style to Zotero: with Zotero open on your computer, go to https://www.zotero.org/styles?q=mcgil and click on either the English or French versions of the McGill style. You can also install both.
