just a few days ago, someone on the list posted a "technology evangelist" job for a project named zotero. Curiosity piqued, I went to the site - www.zotero.org - and found this out about Zotero: Zotero is a free, easy-to-use research tool that helps you gather and organize resources (whether bibliography or the full text of articles), and then lets you to annotate, organize, and share the results of your research. It includes the best parts of older reference manager software (like EndNote)—the ability to store full reference information in author, title, and publication fields and to export that as formatted references—and the best parts of modern software such as del.icio.us or iTunes, like the ability to sort, tag, and search in advanced ways. Using its unique ability to sense when you are viewing a book, article, or other resource on the web, Zotero will—on many major research sites—find and automatically save the full reference information for you in the correct fields. In short, Zotero looks really cool. Perhaps I should look into that "technology evangelist" job their offering, eh? --Christian Nelson On Oct 23, 2006, at 9:08 AM, Julian Hopkins wrote:
Hello All,
Can anyone recommend a good open-source/free bibliography database programme?
It doesn't have to be integrated into Word and all that jazz, just be able to print out bibliographies in a variety of styles, and store all the material in a sensibly accessible database.
Ideally it would also have the capability of doing online sources too.
I have never used open source, so I would want something relatively easy to install.
Thanks for any advice,
Julian
