content: Consider how this comment reads when moved to an analagous context:"Snag
- I don't have a Mac, so Max OS X is out for me? Best operating system ever??"If
you don't use Firefox, then no, you can't use Zotero. This does not mean that
the software is not the best in its class, it just means that you don't have the
infrastructure to support it - sorry, but I stand by what I said! :P

content: Yes, I'm sure Zotero is very good, but it may not be a question of "don't
use Firefox". Many workplaces insist that users rely on Internet explorer - not
everyone has a choice.

content: ! 'I see the problem (IT departments, in particular, want to be encumbered
with updates and support for as limited a range of software as possible) and I
know that there is already a Gnome client for Zotero (see: http://forums.zotero.org/discussion/10824/gnotero/
)...Ideally they would move to some form of standalone platform (as per http://forums.zotero.org/discussion/7327/feature-request-stand-alone-zotero/
). However, the changes necessary to implement the huge portions that are handled
by Firefox seem to render this impracticable.Are you using/have you tried CiteULike?
I certainly think the social aspect of CUL has worked out better than Zotero.
However, I don''t want to use/pay for EndNote when Zotero does the job for me,
for free. I appreciate somewhat more now that I am in a privileged position being
free to choose OS/browser but perhaps, if enough software is developed that depends
upon other platforms, the IT departments will eventually have to concede some
freedom to their users.'

content: Yes, I thought that's what you meant. I export from CuL as "Formatted Text"
then bung it into Word. Most reliable system I've ever used - much more-so than
Endnote, which always needed post-insertion fiddling.

content: I have to admit I am a big Zotero fan. But not enough to pay for storage
space online to upload my references. Perhaps it's being a humanities researcher,
but I went over the initial MB limit immediately, and I don't think the cost of
more is particularly good. So for me, the social aspect isn't working that well.I
already use separate browsers for personal and academic work (otherwise I'd just
be drowning in tabs!), so this works really well for me! I'm not sure exactly
how it'll work when I try and do my final formatting though - at the moment I
don't see any easy way of altering the formatting of references and my university
has a very particular style. Still, best free bibliographic software so far!

content: I am also an avid fan of Zotero. I find it makes much sense in making
technology work for me. A major reason for me is the cite while you write plug
in. If there was some way of linking my delicious or Zoxmarks book marks to my
Zotero. Anyone here use LaTex? Its used mainly in computer science but I think
its a great open source text editor that would make things easier.

<p>In the spirit of social networking/research interaction, I have <br />established a Zotero group for researchers working in my field; the <br />novels of Thomas Pynchon.
The site is here: <a href="http://www.zotero.org/groups/thomas_pynchon">http://www.zotero.org/groups/thomas_pynchon</a>
If you haven't used Zotero before, it's the ultimate open-source, freely <br />available citation tool. It will do all the hard work of formatting your <br />citations and even share them across multiple computers. It works with <br />OpenOffice and MS Word, so you are well catered for.
Feel free to add to the list of works; I will certainly be updating it <br />as I work.</p>
