Zotero

Before completing this portion of the assignment I had never heard of Zotero. Now that I have played around with a bit I wish I had known about it earlier! It is a great tool for all kinds of research and a excellent place to store all of the sources in a organized manner. All incoming college students should be exposed to this tool because it makes research much more efficient and organized. I especially like how all the citations are linked to the original source so they are always available for referencing. I used Google Scholar to search for some Library and Technology related articles. I found several interesting articles about 2.0 technology in Libraries.
The only part of Zotero that I really don't like is syncing of the libraries. I have created a library with the 2.0 articles but the instructions for syncing are not very clear.
