Elisa starts the session - these are tools to love and hate. Zotero is fairly new and an ETS white paper will be available soon.

Zotero is a free Firefox plugin

  • It's always there with you as you browse the Web - sits right on your Firefox status bar, can pull metadata directly from Web resources, filling in your reference information for you including abstract and url
  • one drawback right now is that refs are stored locally, so it's not great for collaboration or working from different computers though Web-based collaboration is coming
  • can export citations in various formats, can export in EndNote format. (elisa demonstrates this for us - looks very easy)

EndNote is a powerful citation management software

  • drawback - costs $, about 100
  • Integrates very well with Word, allowing in-text citation
