Tim Bukeley on SansBlogue continues to update his information on Zotero. In the last few days, he has put up a post which contains a video on how to include multiple references in one citation (often useful) and also another quick demonstration on how Zotero works. One day, when I get a bit of spare time, I’m going to see if the Zotero SBL style works better than the Endnote one. If it does, I’ll be using Zotero.

Not yet, there is a significant glitch, but it will work (I am told) in the next version of Zotero, and then we’ll see if it is yet “better”.
The reason I prefer Zotero is that it does not take over my computer and slow it down - things I hated about EndNote. But it does the things I loved about EndNote, it grabs bibliographic data from catalogues and the like and drops them in my writings in ways that keep the Citation Nazis happier

The two things in favour of Endnote from my perspective are:
1. I can play around with formatting styles and get one that works reasonably well for any of the eccentricities that the various religion/theology journals that have been publishing since the beginning of time perpetrate on potential authors
2. My university pays for Endnote and supports it so when I get stuck I can go and talk to one of the librarians, who will be able to help me
I have a nice, fast computer that was set up to run Vista (because that’s how Dell was selling them) but on which I only run XP because there is no Coptic keyboard available for Vista. I have 3 GB of RAM, which means that Endnote doesn’t seem to bother it. The JBL/SBL style needed significant editing and still doesn’t work smoothly, though.

I like Zotero it’s a very cool referencing and source program. It’s great to have right in the web page, and I use it to help me keep track of things in my business. I also use it with
NoteScribe to keep track of my notes, and between the two, I stay pretty organized. If you’re a graduate student, both tools are great!

Thanks Jake. This also looks interesting.
