Open Source Toolbox: FireFox Scholar


The Center for History and New Media (CHNM) at George Mason University is developing an open-source package of tools under the name Project SmartFox.

"Due for beta release in Summer 2006, Firefox Scholar will help teachers, students, and scholars organize and cite materials they have found online.

Comprised of a set of browser extensions, Firefox Scholar will allow researchers...collect documents, images, and citations from the web; and allow those materials to be sorted, annotated, and searched--all directly within their web browser window.

Like the Firefox browser itself, Firefox Scholar will be open and extensible, allowing others who are building digital tools for researchers to expand on the platform."
