News on more great stuff from Zotero today!
Zotero is THE tool for organizing my doctoral treatise. I use tags to organize my literature review (400+ citations, though some will clearly not make the cut as I continue to shape and refine my topic). I have notes attached to the citations. I've attached copies of the documents. I've backed up (citations to Zotero.org, contents to a network storage option). I've used folders to group citations as I've gathered resources, though now all of the sources still of relevance are going into one main folder. And of course I use the Word plug-in when I'm writing.
Items on my Zotero wishlist: vendors who stop breaking the translators, the ability to mass add a tag to a selection of citations, style-guide specific title case modifications (not just title case and lower case, but how about APA case?) - I know this would mess up proper names, but that's what happens with lower case now. At least an "APA case" would leave the first word and the first word following a colon in upper case so that I don't have to manually change that every time!

Yes, there is no APA case, but as I discovered with some grad students a few weeks ago, the word processor plugin handles APA in text citations really really well (i.e. it knows where a citation with 3-5 authors is in relation to a second citation, spelling out all the authors' names and putting et al accordingly...)
