Has the "Endnote" bibliography software ever tempted you to smash your laptop with a filing cabinet full of dewey-decimal cards? If so, "Zotero" is for you. This ingenius free-ware allows one to "zap" references from an impressive array of websites straight into your firefox browser. The references have full compatibility with MS Word, and the integrated browser window allows you to store pdfs or "screenshots" of your references as well. "That's all well and good," says the hapless victim of Endnote path-dependency, "but what about all of my old Endnote references?" Fear not, skeptics, I transformed all of my old Endnote files into Zotero in less than two minutes.
