Zotero [zoh-TAIR-oh] is a free, easy-to-use Firefox extension to help
you collect, manage, and cite your research sources. What do U think
about this tool? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zotero

I need a tool for taking notes in the course of reading articles. It
would be nice to have a GUI where I can link my note to the specified
paragraph, or sentence. What do you use for this?

Thnx a lot, Steve! At first blink it seems to have all the
functionality I wanted! I will switch from delicious to diigo, that's
for sure!

You can actually use both Diigo and delicious. I use Diigo and send
all my bookmarks automatically to delicious.

If you want to see an example of notes and discussion with Diigo's
highlighting, check out this:

You can do private notes instead of public ones like these, of course,
but if you share your notes with everyone we can all learn from
them. :)

Hi - just a quick note on this - to see the comments, you need to download diigo plugin. Once downloaded, you can see the comments and contribute (even if the contributors aren't your friends (in diigo), unless they've set their comments as private/network). We'll be using this more later in the course...diigo and stumbleupon offer insight into a completely different way of interacting with others...huge potential impact on classrooms/education.

I have bee using this as my main archiving and annotation tool for
several months. It is also a greart tool for listing people and adding
notes about their specialties.

Sorry--I should have mentioned that the Diigo download is necessary.
Kulcsi had already mentioned he was getting it, so I knew he was OK
and wasn't thinking about anyone else.

Glad to hear that these tools will be discussed later in the course.
I'm looking forward to it!

Christy
