Zotero: Harnessing the Power of a Personal Bibliographic Manager

Zotero is a powerful free personal bibliographic manager (PBM) for writers. Use of a PBM allows the writer to focus on content, rather than the tedious details of formatting citations and references. Zotero 2.0 (http://www.zotero.org) has new features including the ability to synchronize citations with the off-site Zotero server and the ability to collaborate and share with others. An overview on how to use the software and discussion about the strengths and limitations are included.
