The end of Endnote?

Posted by: sorafferty on: May 2, 2008

Probably not, but Zotero is a free, easy-to-use Firefox extension to help you collect, manage, and cite your research sources. It lives right where you do your work — in the web browser itself.

It boasts much of the functionality of bibliographic software while being embedded in your browser. Interestingly it is able to “sense” reference information from a web page.

Zotero integrates tightly with online resources; it can sense when users are viewing a book, article, or other object on the web, and—on many major research and library sites—find and automatically save the full reference information for the item in the correct fields. Since it lives in the web browser, it can effortlessly transmit information to, and receive information from, other web services and applications; since it runs on one’s personal computer, it can also communicate with software running there (such as Microsoft Word). And it can be used offline as well (e.g., on a plane, in an archive without WiFi).

Definitely a great research tool I use it all the time, even for applications not normally designed for (thesupermemoblog.wordpress.com). Germán Salízar Pareja.
