zotero

Olivia Judson has a great NY Times column on two softwares that can save you from digital drowning.  I've blogged about Zotero, the amazing Zotero, more than once.  There's a shout out here in this Judson NY Times blog too:  http://judson.blogs.nytimes.com/2008/12/16/defeating-bedlam/?emc=eta1

Are you using Zotero?

Check out the first in a series of articles on Innovators in Humantiies, Arts and Social Sciences Computing that has recently been published in HPCwire.

On my recent two-week visit at UIC, I was asked which online resources I use most frequently. I mentioned TagCrowd, del.icio.us, Zotero, Needle, and HASTAC (of course!). Several people didn't know about these and I promised to send them url's and a brief annotation of each. Most readers of this blog will know this already but, for those who don't, a primer. And I'd like all readers to use this column to share their own favorite tools, too.
