For academic-types who use Firefox

<p>If you do a lot of research via the internet, then you absolutely need to have this tool:</p>

<p>Zotero
<a href=“http://www.zotero.org/[/url]”>http://www.zotero.org/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>It is a firefox extension. It is free and always will be. It indexes and catalogs everything, it automatically pulls up important bibliographic data from files, it lets you take screenshots and then annotate or highlight everything. It lets you take notes. It sits invisibly as a logo on your browser screen until you need it – and then its just a matter of clicking the logo and having it all popup. You can create different folders whenever you want, so that you can have all your research organized by project. </p>

<p>So basically it is amazing and I don’t know how I ever lived without it. </p>

<p>If you don’t already use Firefox, then Zotero is reason enough why you should change.</p>

<p>I second everything calmom said. Zotero is an amazing tool, and after swearing I’d never use any browser except IE, I’m now a Firefox groupie (its Bookmark toolbar is also great.)</p>
