Zotero: bibliography and annotation extension for Firefox

http://www.zotero.org/

Zotero is an extension for the Firefox web browser (on PC or Mac, but only for Firefox) that helps you organize any and all online research sources: create quick citations in standard formats (e.g. MLA, APA); generate bibliographies; take notes on digital texts. (As an "active reader" fond of scribbling in the margins of my print books, I especially like this last function.)

  • There's an excellent AU library plugin for Firefox, as well - I use them together quite a bit.

  • I just figured out the highlighting and annotation for web docs (enabled when you View Snapshot): score one for active reading, online.

  • I found Zotero 3/4 of the way through my program but I had already been organizing all my articles and texts for every single paper and class in ref works so although Zotero looks much better I won't switch now unfortunately because I am now well into my final project. For anyone new to Athabasca though I highly recommend one of these great sites for keeping and organizing all your references because when it came to do my final project after five years(!) I had all of my favorite articles readily accessible.  I did know what my final project would be about roughly since I started so all my papers and assignment were researched and written with my final project in mind.
