Zotero

December 4, 2006 at 8:42 pm | In Questioning, Researching, Web 2.0 Applications | No Comments

Zotero is a production of the Center for History and New Media at George Mason University.

It is their attempt to create a tool that will help organise and record research sources, allow users to add notes and create an accurate bibliography. This tool may help to solve some of our challenges with students adequately referencing research tasks.

i would be interested to hear from some librarians who are willing to look at this tool and try it within a classroom setting. You will need the latest version of firefox (free download here) and then you can download the Zotero plugin here.
