Last Dec (2006) I posted about Zotero, an open source bibliography tool to help you with your research.
“Zotero will organize your research, collect your links, manage and cite right from your Firefox web browser. Unfortunately, you still have to write the paper yourself.”
I am curently using Zotero to gather research for a paper and I want to remind you try it. Seriously. It is really a great free tool that runs as an extension in your Firefox browser.
The only thing I don’t like about Zotero is that needs to be downloaded on a computer. So you need to move files from computer to computer if you work on different computers. I don’t like moving things with a flash drive anymore, I have become lazy with all the tools readily available that allow me to work at the office and at home without transporting files or laptops back and forth.
The only thing that will make Zotero better is to be a web-based tool. That will also facilitate collaboration and working from a distance. Sharing research will then be just a ‘click’ away.
