Hi Sarah, I have also been using Zotero pretty extensively as a part of my research, like Adi noted earlier, not as intended as a bibliographic reference tool, but as a tool to take snapshots of web pages as I experienced them, organize them, annotate them, and tag them for later use. I have not experimented with archiving these online for various reasons but there is a way to sync with an online database of your materials. My experience has been mostly positive, but there are somethings that are worth considering before you dive to deeply. Feel free to contact me directly if you have any questions.

Hi Sarah,
not sure the programs does all what you need, but I have been using a firefox addon called Scrapbook for a while, to archive the web:
http://amb.vis.ne.jp/mozilla/scrapbook/
you can save and manage collections of websites/pages, and it is quite powerful in my view,as it has a few useful management tools.
You can easily back up collections and transfer them between scrapbook (so you can share with colleagues the data).
I am not sure it does automatic crawling, but you might find something that can work with it.
Well you can download it and play with it for a while :) and later decide if it is worth using it.
I hope this is of some help

s and downloads as well, although as we are tending to focus on relatively short periods of intense interest around particularly issues/events, we don't need a long-term crawl system.
Suggestions from this clever and useful list most welcome, although
currently this list is making me sad that I am not in Sweden to meet people at exciting venues and hear what I am sure is some great work (:
