Turn Firefox into a research tool
Zotero
We show you how Zotero can turn Firefox into the ultimate research tool.
Hundreds of useful add-ons are included in the official repository of Firefox extensions. Some of them are clever one-trick ponies, whereas others add radically new functionality to your favorite browser. Zotero [1] belongs to the latter category. This extension turns Firefox into a powerful tool that can handle a wide range of tasks – from research and archiving, to generating bibliographies and managing notes. Add to this the accompanying web service, which lets you sync your Zotero data between multiple machines, access your data via the web, and collaborate with other users, and you've got the ultimate tool for all your research needs.
Getting Started
Although Zotero works fine as a standalone tool, you should create a free account with Zotero's web service to help unleash its full potential. Then you can install the latest version of the Zotero extension from the project's web site.
