Library Geeks 005 - Zotero

Created 2006-10-03 12:02

Dan Cohen, Josh Greenberg, and Dan Stillman of the Center for History and New Media [1] at GMU joined me to discuss their work on Zotero [2], their about-to-be-released Firefox 2 based citation manager-cum-bibliographic everything keeper. "Z-Day", as they call the upcoming public release day, is scheduled for this Thursday, October 5, 2006.

There's a lot to be excited about in Zotero, as I wrote recently [3]. Listen in and learn all about it straight from the source through the local podcast feed [4], iTunes [5], or straight to the mp3 file [6].

Show notes:

To use Zotero, you'll need Firefox 2 [7].
Zotero uses the Citation Style Language [8], or CSL, by Bruce D'Arcus.
Zotero can recognize, parse, and collect bibliographic information found in COinS [9].
Support is planned in Zotero for unAPI [10].
