Zotero (zo-TAIR-oh) is a Firefox 2.0 extension that captures Web pages (and files and PDFs), finds the citation info on those pages and puts them into standard bibliographicv form, lets you take notes, and lets you search. In future versions, it plans on letting you publish your collection and will integrate with Microsoft Word and others. It’s free and it’s Open Source.

I haven’t tried it yet, but I’m liking the sound of it a lot. (Here are the specs for my dream system, which I once called Notetella, but which I suppose now I’d have to call note.licio.us because, well, that’s the law.) (Thanks to Luis Villa for the link.) [Tags: zotero research bibliographic ]
