I own and use EndNote. I tried to use the free Zotero but had too many issues with it.

Seeing as I dont need to be portable but do need to keep track of a lot of literature, I also use nVivo. I dump the whole article in, and tag bits to themes I am thinking about. Or if its a book, I type in the interesting bits. Yes, type. :-) When it comes to writing up summaries or getting a grasp of a field, or remembering where I read that thing... thats when this system comes into its own. I can go, what have I read about internet ethnography again?... and click on that tag, and pull up all the relevant quotes I have marked. I also write memos based on readings and leave them in nvivo. I find that Endnote is good for what its designed to do: put citations into your work, in the style you specify. When it comes to keeping track of ideas, well nVivo is better designed to do that. n -- Natalya Godbold PhD Candidate (Human Information Behaviour / Health Communication) Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences University of Technology, Sydney On Fri, Feb 26, 2010 at 6:02 AM, Daniel Chamberlain <chamberlain@oxy.edu>wrote:
You might consider Zotero, a free service developed by the Center for New Media and History at George Mason that works as Firefox extension. Great for marking and archiving resources you find online, plugins for OpenOffice and Word, nice sync/backup feature, and has options for sharing/collaboration. If you sync your local library with the Zotero server, you will be able to view your collection from your iphone (or other mobile device).

and tag them appropriately.
Does anyone have a favourite bit of references organisation software? I'm on a Mac. Would love if it also had an iPhone/mobile component.

I use Bookends from Sonny Software on OSX. Sente is also a good one to check out. Both are, if memory serves, under $100 USD. And there's always EndNote if you're feeling adventurous.....
Not sure about the mobile aspects on any of them, though.
