Zotero Extension for Firefox

If you do a lot of online research using Mozilla Firefox as your browser, check out the Zotero extension. Developed by the Center for History and New Media of George Mason University, it's a blend of old-school research notes and web-savvy organization. Developed by scholars used to organizing reference notes via index cards, this handy tool allows the capture of information from libraries, databases, blogs, and other web pages. Once captured, the user can add notes, associate items, and link files and images. Plus, Zotero allows you to annotate sources with highlighting and sticky notes. Best of all, you can organize and export references in a variety of styles into Word or OpenOffice and do not need to be online.
