Zotero Firefox Addon - collect and manage your web research

Posted by ClifNotes, Mar 2009, permalink Info Management

 

I've been using GoogleNotebook for web clippings. Since Google announced that they will stop supporting it, I've been keeping an eye out for a replacement.

 

Bob W. mailed me this week with news about the Zotero Firefox addon. It sure looks like it can replace my Google Notebook and I plan on trying it soon.

 

Here's what Bob said in his letter ...

 

Hi Clif,

I found a Firefox extension Zotero (zoh-TAIR-oh) which is a free, easy-to-use tool to help you collect, manage, and cite your research sources.
