Zotero's nieuwe ontwikkelingen
Zotero is een social bookmarking tool annex reference manager die meer aandacht verdient dan het krijgt in de Nederlandse biblioblogosphere.
Een van die dingen waar EndNote cs. nog van kunnnen leren, is hoe serieus Zotero de verdere ontwikkeling van hun product nemen. Gisteren schreven ze uitgebreid over hun toekomstplannen en gaven er ook een tijdpad bij aan:

- juni 2008, betere synchronisatie voor Zotero 1.5 onder FF 3.*
- september 2008, synchronisatie voor groepen in Zotero 2.0
- Zotero 2.1, adviseringsmodule
- Zotero 3.0, samenwerking met het Internet Archive

New reference management software for mac lovers
I am an avid user of EndNote. At our library we even run a string of courses to teach te beginnings or the nitty gritty of the EndNote program. It is a real pity that mastering even the basics of EndNote requires some set courses. But my real complaint with EndNote is the continuous stream of updates. I wish these continuous updates stopped. Although I am the first to admit that the program needs some serious improvements, certainly with te current EndNote Web, which I still don't grasp entirely.
Once I pointed already to Zotero a free web based reference manager. I liked it, but I still kept on using EndNote. Found EndNote the more versatile of these two programmes. And the 2000+ journals styles is also an attraction.
If only publishers reduced, formalized and equalized their instructions to authors for the journals in their portfolio, that would be a big relief. Elsevier perhaps?
Today RSS pointed met to a new (Mac) program, Papers, that will be released soon. From the screenshot it looks real cool. Albeit I get the impression that the accent is on the article management and resource discovery, and less in the assistance of inclusion of references in papers or reports. That is really one of the strong points of EndNote. The screenshot looks so nice that I am really interested to find te odd Mac users at our university to give this program a try.
