** My Intellectual Flakes **

I came across Zotero today and found it pretty exciting. (I especially like one of its tag line: “Research, not re-research”). It it a Firefox extension that manage digital resources either online and offline. As a Firefox extension, Saving digital resources, like book, webpage is just a click away. You can have a quick tour of Zotero at here.

Basically, Zotero is like Endnote. For each item saved you can add notes, attachment, tags and you can group the related items together. Just like Endnote, MS Word plug-in is also available to easily create in-text citation and bibliography. Onefeature that is really cool is that you can save a webpage as a snapshot and highlight and annotate on it easily.

All in all, first impression of Zotero is really great. Much user-friendly than Endnote and more integrated with Google applications and other websites. I am thinking of giving Zotero a try. Files from Endnote can be imported easily. I tried it, it works great! Notes are also imported fine. Another plus – got spell-checking here. So important for me!
