I haven’t spent much time with this yet, so don’t have a full review, but wanted to at least point this out for folks who might benefit.
There’s a new Firefox-based browser called Zotero that is aimed at scholars, but would be of use to pretty much anyone who is a rabid consumer/collector of information. The […]
